Today me and Rachel were fortunate enough to have study periods therefore we were able to begin our first stages of filming, this being using a white background screen. Due to our school not having any form of white screen, blue room, green room etc. we chose to use our main school halls stage as this has a blank white canvas background. As the floor was black we covered this with white sheets. Conveniently Rachel's dad is a painter therefore we had easy access to these materials. We spent 2 and a half hours filming 11.05 - 1.35, straight from here we went to uploading the material on the Apple Macs in our Media Suite as we wanted to ensure we had the material we filmed backed up on the computer in case something were to happen with the SD card whilst on half term. We were able to obtain the backstage key to the changing rooms, so we were able to use mirrors to do makeup to the lead female. Here are some of the pictures from filming. As you can see we used a tripod and dolly during the making, this will be seen in the final product.
Heels borrowed from a friend. White background will appear completely white due to editing.
Our work station, notice the speakers. 'Searching For The Sun In The Dark' was set to repeat.
Rachel using the dolly to film my movement ("dancing")
Problems we encountered:
1. The white sheets we used on the floor kept on crumpling up.
2. I was unable to jump around and dance in the heels as I had a sprained ankle... This also was the reason for the moving floor sheets.
3. Camera battery running out
After getting home Rachel also went to charge the camera we took out to do filming during half term, unfortunately we have been given the wrong charger...
