Shoot 1 - 22/11

Charity shop

Our first shoot took place on Friday the 22nd after school. We met the 5 girls in the main entrance of school at 3:00PM at went on to walk down to the charity shop. We filmed them going into the charity shop and then filmed various shots of them inside looking through the clothes and then trying the clothes on. We asked them to previously bring their own clothes so that when 'trying clothes on' they used their clothes rather than trying on the clothes within the charity shop and therefore disturbing any customers. After filming in the charity shop, the girls got changed and we walked down to Ilkley park where we shot footage of the 5 girls playing in the park.

Once we had the footage of them messing around, we got shots of them dancing and performing a catwalk, to represent the longing to be famous. They played in the park and performed an improv dance routine, which worked well as it signified their age.

Filming outside the charity shop

Because we started filming at 3, it got dark quickly by 4:30ish meaning the shots at the park are darker than those walking down to the park.  We also had an issue in the charity shop with customers walking round in the background.

All in all, the shoot went well as all the girls were willing to participate therefore making it easier to give instructions. They were enthusiastic to work with which made it easier and enjoyable, and they did what we asked of them first
time.
