Our day of filming - Vic

Our day of filming on Sunday was a total sucess. We did have some concerns the day before concerning the weather conditions, the weather was pretty good, it was fairly bright so therefore we gott he lighting correct for the footage. A slight downfall was that it was a bit chilly however we had coats on hand for the girls who wernt really wearing much.

A further concern was that the actress's would turn up ok, as Hannah was going out the night before and daisy was unwell. However Hannah was the firt to arrive and ready to help with make up and ready to act; daisy was slightly late but she turn up fully dressed and make up on ready which jsut needed a small amoubt of 'tweeking'. Trin was slightly late (as expected), but got straight down to getting changed and having her hair (By me)and make up done (By hannah). There three girls impressed me by their commitment to the filming, and also their acting skills were pretty impressive. A further suprise was Trins ability to Lip sync, she had a great sense of timing. The overall images for the girls looked fantastic just what we were looking for. We also instructed the girls before filming how we wanted them to act and the characters that we wanted to portray e.g. daisy (Fleur) being girly, Hannah (Perry)being boistrous and have an attitude problem and finally trin (Trinity) being out of control. They took direction well and acted the way that we wanted. This element is what made the footage so effective.

The time keeping on the day went completly to plan, this was due to the fact that we had planned each shot carefully, and emily had also completed a time schedule which gave the day a sort of stuctured element. A further reason why we filmed so quickly is because the three girls were really easily directed, and they took it very seriously.

We thought that we would be disappointed with the end footage because the camera was not High Definition however the footage came out pretty good and all shots were clear: even the extreame close ups.

As a group we were very naive and it didnt even cross our minds about setting up the drums, luckily Trins boyfriend came along and was able to set them up. Trin's boyfriend can also play the drums so he offered to give hannah a 5 minute crash course in playing them, whcih actually reflected in the video. I also gave daisy a breif lesson on how to play the guritar however she didnt really pick up on what I was teaching her.


I took a variety of pictures of the day, including images of us filming , us packing away, and shots of the girls acting. I will upload the images to blog soon.
