Wednesday 17th November - Our first shoot!

So second time lucky, we decided to shoot! We checked with the teacher and asked her if we could use her room during the morning, and she said it was only available last lesson in the afternoon. So we thought rather than waste the time, we thought we would so the photo shoot for the digipacks and film later.
So we got all dressed up, and began shooting in the IT room with the green screen, as there was no available black backgrounds. At first we had trouble getting the lighting perfect, after that was sorted, the camera became an issue. As it was a long exposure most of the pictures were 'blurry' and out of focus, there was limited space as well for us to act our positions, so this became a challenge. We over came this by shooting individual pictures for our digipack, and getting 'quirky' pictures that we could use. This worked well given our limited time and space!

Then came the afternoon, we set up in the drama room on the stage they had, and the lighting looked perfect! But then came a problem no one had brought the music! So we found a way around that too, there was a computer, so we played it out of the speakers and it worked perfectly.

So we started filming, and then collected our microphones from the music department and everything was set. We began filming the performance scene, and all of us gave it our all! And really got into it. We managed to shoot the whole song, and then addition scenes that we thought would work.
So together the day went really well, and to plan.
We plan to shoot, on Monday and Wednesday to finish !
