Filming

_________________________________________________________________

Filming commenced on the planned day, with all the actors available and myself and Millie available to film.

Technical Info
We took two cameras to use on the day of filming; a Nikon DSLR for the filming of the main sections of the footage and a Sony Video Camera for any additional footage or to replace the Nikon had it ran out of charge. We also took two camera bags, chargers and a tripod to film with. The tripod was essential to the high quality framing. angles and also the overall quality of the shots.

Alongside the technical equipment, we also took a copy of the storyboard and made sure the correct version of the music track was available on several devices to play out loud and aid with the lip-syncing (we ensured that our female actress had learnt the lyrics beforehand to create the most convincing video possible). We ensured we prepped the actors of the styling and clothing that was essential to their characters, which meant the characters came dressed in slightly alternative clothing but also something that was classy and aesthetically pleasing. Bella, our female actress wore complimenting make-up, and her hair and clothing was suited to her overall look. Lee, our male actor, wore a more casual understated outfit which however still fit into the look we were trying to achieve with the assistance of his styled hair and accessories.

We also took a sheet which could be filled out by members of the public if we decided we needed their permission for filming to go ahead e.g. people in the background of shots.
