Filming Progress

Our group arranged another filming session so it could be on Monday, 31st October and this time I was able to make it! We met in our Media classroom just after school.
Our first task entailed Amelia Q bringing in a doll's house she had at home to stick to the theme of Alice in Wonderland. We needed to make sure our actress, Amelia W, could fit in it, and she managed to. This was after we removed the floors of the house and put a wallpaper inside it.
This had taken about 20 minutes, so it was nearly 16:00 when we were about to start filming, and as the clocks had gone back the day before, it would get dark in the next hour, so we had to be quick. We had a few takes of Amelia W opening the door from the inside. We managed to get our takes in 15 minutes or so, before it got too dark.
Then we moved back into the classroom and filmed more of Amelia W mouthing the words to the song. Most of the shots were long shots, but we took a few close ups as well.

I think the filming session went really well, however for next time there needs to be more variation in the shots. For example, the words "Your love" are repeated in the chorus quite a few times, therefore I think we should have Amelia W mouthing these words but in different locations because at the moment, she is only in the classroom and I can see the potential for more shots.
