Today we all met at Hollies house with our cast and also saved this day to start filming.
After reading the script we organised which part we would start with and decided it would be best to film in chronological order.
After the cast were all set and ready to go, we made sure the props were also in place. The main prop in the opening 20 seconds is Tiffany's diary and also the photos on her wall. We also used a iPhone to do a rough copy of the voice over of Tiffany's diary entry. This was so that we could act with the voice over playing on top to get a more realistic and accurate idea of how the timing will be.
We then used a tripod to do a tracking shot around the room- this we found slightly difficult as we were in a very small space so it was difficult to move around the room.
I took the role as the camera/director
Hollie focuses on the set and also helped with the director role
Abi helped with camera and make up and also costume.
Our first day shooting was slightly difficult as we we were not completely sure what the character of Hailey was doing- this made it hard for us to shoot as it was difficult for us to establish what we wanted audience to know about her. In order to overcome this we decided to leave Hailey's role till the end, this was so we had time to think of what would be best suited for her character.
Unfortunately, not everything went well for us on this day. Some of our shots were difficult to film, which made it hard for us to get many good shoots. An example of a shot which didn't work is the main establishing shot of Tiffany's room. Also the shots which we shot outside of Britany walking outside with her high heels did not look very good, this is because the grass was wet and muddy so the heels kept sinking into the grass. This distracted us, and made it almost impossible to film any good shots.]
