On Tuesday during our media lesson me, Paige and Gabby recorded ourselves lip syncing the whole song in front of the green screen. We did this as we knew from our pratice music video that we shot in Knebworth we need as many shots as possible! So we always had us lipsyncing the whole of the song if we ever ran out of shots. We all wore black and white to keep to our simplicity theme. Then after school we all went back to my house and filmed the shots the background story in our production. We filmed shots 1-7, which were all just of me and maya. The things that made it the hard to film these shots are that for shots number 1 and 2 we had to film me and Maya sat in front of a dressing table, because we are going to try to make it a smooth transition between the shots we had to ensure that I was sat in exactly the same position as Maya was. Another factor that made it hard was that because Maya is only 9, she didn't have a lot of patience so although we did reshots of everything it was hard to keep her entertained and to get her to act all the shots well.
This is a shot of me sat in front of the dressing table:
Other shots we found really hard to do was shots 3 and 4 of mine and Mayas eyes:
We found this hard as we had to zoom in on my eye then use a transition to Mayas eyes then zoom out on Maya's eyes. Although we planned to do it the opposite way round and film Mayas eye first we thought it looked better the way we filmed it. It was hard to shoot as sometimes when we zoomed in on the eye the camera went out of focus or we couldn't keep it steady. It was also hard to select a transition between our eyes but we decided to use cross dissolve as it made it as smooth as possible as when you start to see Maya's eye you can still see a bit of mine.
