Filming Day 3
Violet Scene:
Violet’s scene was the last of the scenes that we had to film. We were set on filming in our school library, but seeing as we were filming during the Christmas break; it proved to be impossible to gain access to our location. As a result, we weren’t able to record the scene with the same equipment as we only had access to them during the holidays. We’ve overcome this by changing our approach to this scene. Filming the therapist, May, Sammy, Elizabeth and Scott we’ve given the audience the omniscient point of view. Violets scene differs as the clip is taken by another character within the footage. By doing this, we’ve given our audience the point of view of bystanders; external from May’s.
Seeing as we didn’t have the same equipment as we did, we didn’t have the luxury of fixing the lights. This made the video raw which is what were going for anyway. We filmed this scene after school and so we were able to ask a few of our friends to be our extras. They had no idea what they were doing in the shot that we were filming and so all of their reactions were genuine which worked to our advantage. Our actress Vita had arrived at our location already in her costume as Daisy had already fixed her up and so all we had to do was film. For her costume we wanted her to look as exaggerated as possible and so she wore: black combat boots, black skinny jeans and a top which revealed her bare stomach. To complete this look we’ve brought in a pink guitar. Her hair and make-up took a lot of effort, Daisy had to use a whole can of hairspray to keep it intact. We intended to use black lipstick for her make-up but found that her costume was lacking colour and so it was replaced with red lipstick. Unfortunately Vita cannot play the guitar and so we gave her a crash course.
These last few posts about our filming days have been uploaded late. This is because of other A-level exams and mocks that I have had to prepare for. Nevertheless, I have included all of the detail and information about our filming, as well as some pictures that we took on the days.
