Filming Day 4

On Thursday at the end of the day we stayed in 6th form to film our friend Julia singing/miming the verses sung by Beverley Knight in the song. We did this in the photography room as the studio was unavailable, so we cleared the tables and had Julia stand in front of and on a white screen so that the background was plain white. This way we can add effects to the background during editing with Ali's programmes.



We placed one camera on a tripod directly in front of her which was stationary at mid-shot distance and we had another handheld camera used which enabled us to do close-ups and different angles. Unfortunately we only had about 30 minutes to film because we were ushered out of the building by the receptionists because they were leaving themselves, which made it harder for us to get some good footage as it took a while for Julia to get confident. We actually sang along with her and danced behind the cameras to encourage her. I think we filmed a good amount of her as we have a lot of footage of her singing each verse so we should have a good selection of what to keep in during editing.
