First Filming

On the 20th of September, we were able to do our first filming of the 'lane scene'. Within this scene, Alice gets upsetting texts from her friends that causes her to be upset and angry.

Being our first filming, we needed to make sure that Alice's makeup was exactly as planned. The photos below show Alice's make up.

Another thing we needed to ensure we related to our research was Alice's clothing. The use of the white shirt and black blazer is something we thought worked extremely well.

In order to make our first filming as successful as possible we used different types of camera angles. Shown below are examples of the types we tried.

 The use of worms eye view allows us to emphasise Alice's anger and how is it about to take over everything else. As well as this, the worms eye view allows us to be what Alice is looking at, the phone.

The over shoulder shot is another example of angle we tried. This would allow the viewer to read the message from Alice's point of view.

Birds eye view is somethign we will use multiple times within our film. We will use this to show what Alice is viewing on her phone.

Further proof of filming is shown below:

When it came to the actual filming of the video, it took us a while to know how to use the camera properly as it was our first time. This meant that some of the videos did not come out properly. However, for a first try, some of them have been very useful to look at as now we can Refilm and improve.

Above is the video that we believe was the most successful. The acting from Alice was perfect for us as I believe you can truly see the anger of the character. The way she throws her blazer is something that we love for our video as it reflects her wanting to throw away the life she has been living. It also means that her anger is conveyed even further. After filming this from the perspective of the front, we decided to attempt taking a video from behind that could edit with it. Shown below are our two attempts at this.

Although there are more videos, there are the ones that I believe will most benefit us by using them and developing them. I believe watching these will allow us to see what factors are potential problems: 

The most important thing that we have learnt from the filming is that we need to ensure continuity. This means that we need to make sure to try and make each filming similar due to the fact the events all are meant to happen on the same day. This means that it is essential that we try and film around the same time of year in order to get the weather as similar as possible. As well as this, we need to ensure Alice is wearing the same exact outfit and make up throughout all our filming stages.  I believe this can be easily achieved as we have photos to work from.
