Preparation for filming day one

We feel very prepared for our filming day within the half term and have made sure both actors are aware of everything they need and the times of the day. To prepare we took a few weeks organising ourselves in deciding the costumes, creating the storyboards and also making sure we were both well taught in how to use the camera and all the different settings it features.


Equipment List

• 2 cameras - one from school and one was mine
• 2 tripods
• White screen- for the singing aspect we are filming in a studio
• Our own lanterns and night lights (for the evening picnic scene)
• Curling Irons
• Make up
• Glitter which i provided
• A white leotard to go under our performers dress

To also prepare I had to go ahead ad choreograph bits of a dance that i feel best suited our storyline and genre. I then taught it to the performers who picked it up really quickly and fully engaged in the process. It was really great to also use some of their input they provided which gave me more ideas for shots we could do on the day. 

The inspiration for some of the moves and costume ideas came from a show i did with the performers where they both did a duet together.  From this we could start planning what parts we wanted to include and what would relate to our own piece.
