More filming...

So far we have managed to as a group put the start of our music video together,  Ella and I spent a lesson matching up the lip sync to correct position so that we could see where we had specific clips for, this left us with gaps in which we could fill in with other shots in which would then link the video together.  Charlotte and Ella then took the time to fill in the games at the beginning of the song, ordering some shots so that the beginning flowed. Today when we looked at the footage we realized that we needed a few more shots for the next part of the music video. Therefore we spent the lesson completing some filming. We stayed within school and chose some specific actors/actresses so that we could ensure that they would be committed and would be able to do as they are told. Our idea was based on the scene from 'High School Musical' where people are all within a social environment and end up breaking into a dance. We took this idea and remade it into our own. the setting in which we chose was the school social forum as we felt that this would allow people to sit casually and act normal, this worked well as people were spread out but not too far apart. Whilst there we took individual close ups of each person so that we could see the connection between them before they began dancing. After this we set up an angle in which we could see everyone and had Harriet initiate the dancing, she began and the others followed resulting in the group dancing. This worked really well and the actors were very enthusiastic. We decided repeat this so that we had more footage to choose from. In addition we used different angles to show variety and to add specific effects. After we had completed this we chose to film some more lip sync with Harriet as she was keen to do so, this allowed us to have further footage.
