Interestingly, the ocean backdrop is entirely CGI because there was actually green rolling hills there. It's also eye-opening to speculate on how much that three seconds actually cost. Every extra got £75, just for starters. Then you factor in hiring the location (Belvoir Castle) for a week, the costumes, the equipment, the cast and crew wages, and it's got to be in the tens of thousands. Quite ridiculous, really!
Anyway, I guess that brings my Young Victoria adventure to a close after two years of following this film's progress. I'd still recommend being an extra if you get the chance, but be under no allusions that you're likely to be a smudge in a crowd scene or have your scene cut entirely. I didn't even make any of the extra features about locations and costumes, despite being filmed as part of the documentary at the time.
