Day 3 Filiming on the stage

After school today we filmed at school in the hall, on the stage.

We arranged for our dancers to meet at 4.00 to film the dance scene along with our main singer.

We asked everyone to arrive dressed to save time. Once everyone was here me and Vicky set up the equipment. I also learnt how to do the lighting so i went to put on the stage lights whilst Hannah and the dancers practiced.  

After this we began filming we took many shots and filmed the dance many times, we used our planning notes and research to help storyboard the type of shots we needed, this helped save time and understand the shots needed.

I filmed shots such as:

• Close ups of shoes, faces and jewellery - Use of motifs and iconography  (Goodwins Conventions)
• Establishing shots to introduce the setting - Various locations 
•  Low angle shots to mix up the shots - being creative with the camera

On a whole the filming was successful. 

I have also decided to stay after school on Monday to upload the filming from the camera on to IMovie.
