On Friday the 29th, we filmed the older girl footage. We used the same location (bedroom) as the younger girls and outside locations to signify the urban genre, such as a street and a skate park. The girls all came with their hair and make up done big and bold to save time so that we could begin filming straight away. We started in the bedroom and shot footage of them 'doing their makeup' and some lip syncing shots. We then went outside onto the street and shot a catwalk and footage of the girls walking towards the camera and dancing. We shot the younger girls performing a catwalk, so made sure we got shots of the older girls doing this as well, as we thought we could experiment with the two shots fading together. After we shot on the street, the girls got changed into their performance outfit, and we went to Addingham skate park to shoot the choreography and other performance footage.
The skate park was a good location as there was no one else around so we had the area to ourselves, and it created the urban feel that we were after. Poppy, Jess and Abi all performed a dance routine together as they dance as a hobby so they could pick the dance up easier. We did get footage of all 5 girls dancing together as well.
The girls were professional when performing and we got the majority of the shots we needed. In the future, we may need to do another shoot to get some additional shots, however the shoot did go really well as the girls all did as we wanted and the performance footage was effective with the colourful dresses and dancing.
