Shooting the glamour scene

Our main idea for this scene was to book a studio that has a green screen. We got in contact with other schools and colleges but the majority did not reply. So our teacher ordered a white screen. We then decided to shoot the glamour scene in the drama room, however due to circumstances we could not shoot in their and as an alternative we shot the scene in the the theatre. After school we set-up the equipment and the girls got dressed up. There was a wide range of equipment availbale to us from the theatre which included stage space where we set up the white screen and lighting. From the music class we borrowed two microphones because we needed them as part of our sequence. We used three cameras from media, two cameras were positioned on tripods to record from different angles, one was positioned directly in front of the white screen and the second one was positioned from a side view and the third one was hand held to get other shots. It took quiet a while to set up the white screen as we had to make space and make sure the white screen was the right height and stable in one place. Before we started shooting we made sure that mege new all the steps as she missed one of the rehearsals so the four girls went over the steps to make sure they were fluent with it. As we were shooting the scene we experimented with the lighting to see how it looked. The main colours we tested with were green, purple, pink and red because these were the individual colours that represented the girls. We took a variety of shots of the girls together and indivually which took a lot of time and we finished at about 6pm after school.

The girls did not where any shoes because there feet will not show in the video. However orginally they were going the wear heels but we later realised that it would not show. This made it easier for the girls because they could walk easier.
