==Production== | |||
===Filming locations=== | |||
*Locations in Union were predominantly filmed in their real-life counterparts. The actual YUSU offices were used during weekends while staff were away - lightly redressed for the characters, and to replace visible YUSU logos with that of YourUnion. Similarly, YSTV and URY doubled for Campus TV and Campus Radio studios respectively. | |||
*For Episode 3, a skeleton cast and crew of five traveled to Liverpool to film scenes at the 2014 NUS conference. | |||
*The election night scenes of Episode 5 were filmed in Wentworth's Edge bar. | |||
===Casting=== | |||
*The character of Callum Taylor was originally planned to be portrayed by then YUSU president (and namesake) Kallum Taylor. However, Taylor was found unavailable on the day of filming, leading to the last-minute casting of producer [[Tom Woffenden]]. | |||
==Home media release== | |||
Union was released on DVD and Blu-ray after the release of Episode 5 in June. An exclusive commentary track was recorded for each of the episodes. | |||
