9th November Filming

In today's filming session, we shot the group dance scene, which is one of the parts the narrative. The location we used for this filming session was a dance studio called Stages School of Dance in North Shields. This studio was fantastic to use as it look very proffessional and is a big contrast compared to the dark drama studio we used for the solo dance scenes. Furthermore, as we needed a group of dancers we hadf to locate some great dancers to be able to keep the standard of the music video. To be able to achieve this we used dancers from on our groups dance school. We used four girls. The costume we designed for them was them to be all in white and floaty. There hair and make up was very natural and bare as we wanted them to look like angels.

In this filming session we used many different types of equpiment. The equpiment we used was a crane, shoulder mount and dolly. We used the crane to create long sweeping shots for the main dance performance sequences. This made us able to capture all of the dancers in one shot as well as focusing on our main actor. In this filming session, we used the shoulder mount to achieve close up as mid-shots. The shoulder mount also helped to create some unusual angles to make it look chaotic. Furthermore, we used the dolly in this filming session    to create slow pans across the studio of the full dance sequences, with the group of dancers and our main actor.
