Filming Day Three 13/11/13 (Sabrina)

On Friday 3rd November, my partner Emma and I filmed the 'Magazine' scene (for the second time).
Before we began filming, we prepared our model for the shot, applying the make up and doing her hair etc. While I put on the make up and did laurens hair, Emma set up the camera to a medium shot so we were able to make the shoot more time effective.

In preparation for this day, we brought in costumes and props in accordance to the scene; we dressed our model wearing 'fashionable' stand out clothes. Her costume and makeup consisted of black 'flattering' eye makeup, foundation, blusher and subtle pink lipstick, her costume was kept reasonably basic yet effective with just a sparkly top and black leggings.

Using the story board as a reference we began shooting Lauren and doing the basics such as miming and dancing. However Lauren part in the music video is to determine whether or not the outfits we put the main protagonist in are fashionable enough or not, therefore we had to do a lot of different takes showing her approval or dismissal. Lauren also has to show the audience that the main protagonist has won a competition from the magazine for this we simply printed out a magazine style 'you're a winner' and made Lauren dance whilst holding it.

Overall the shoot was a success gaining the shots we needed for the final video, this was due to prior organization and the preparation before the shoot. This enabled us to get all the shots we needed quickly with time to get back up and experimental ones.

 

We had to reshoot this scene because the first time we shot everything portrait in hopes to create a magazine around her. However, this backfired because everytime Lauren moved her arm or part of her body would get cut off which looked silly on a landscape screen.
