filming.

I think we represented social groups well in our two minute opening. The social groups we used were chav, girly girl and indie boy. With the chav social group we dressed our actress up in a track suit and her makeup was heavily done with a lot of foundation and eyeliner. We went a bit over the top so you could see in on film. With the girly girl we dressed her up in a denim coloured dress with leggings and her hair in plaits. I think this may have been a bit outdated as when I researched clothes for a 10-12 year old and they wore bright tee-shirts with emblems or 'Hannah Montana' etc. With the indie boy we dressed him in skinny type jeans a checkered shirt with a plain tee shirt underneath and converse trainers. He wore a beanie. This represents our social group as the clothes I have researched about indie boys fit in with what our actor was wearing.

We filmed in the October half term. We started at 10am and finished at 3pm. We filmed locally near a road because we needed a road in our film. Most of our filming was done outside but some was done at a friend’s house. We needed windows at the front of the house to do some of the filming and a lamppost so that was a perfect area to film in. We managed to finish all our filming in one day but once we started editing we realised some part were not right and we have to re-film them.

Some of the difficulties we faced when filming was first of all our main character could not walk into a tree. We overcame this by changing that part for someone knocking her head with a bag. Also for our music because we couldn’t use any copyrighted music we had to make some up or borrow some from an un-copyrighted website. Luckily we have a friend who knows how to play the guitar and she made up background music for us.

we have created the mise-en-scene on one scenes where girls are having a sleepover. We used props such as sleeping bags, pyjamas, slippers, pillows. For the lighting we closed the curtains because it was still light outside and added fairy lights.
