Week beginning 2nd Jan

Today I did some filming with my little sister as once we had recieved the feedback on our 2nd draft we knew we needed to refilm some of the shots shes in.

I first refilmed the shot where Maya is reading. Before she was reading a school book but we decided to change it to be a fashion magazine to fit more in with the theme we were trying to potray. This shot was hard to film again as we start zoomed in on Mayas eye and then zoom out to see her reading, but it is hard to keep the camera steady and in focus and to make sure the timing is right when doing this.

We also agreed that the shot of Maya walking in high heels then she shuts the door and you see me walking in heels wasnt working. So I decided to put Maya in some bigger heels so you can clearly see the shoes are too big for her, put her in a dress that is too big for her so she has to hitch it up when she walks and also some socks with teddys on, all to symbolise how young she really is. Also instead of using the door for the swap over I thought that Maya could walk up to her wardrobe and open it to look as if shes looking for something and then I would walk out to show the difference.

I also had an idea to film Maya in the mirror while she is putting on bright pink lipstick, very badly! Also to suggest how young she is. I don't know how well it will work but I'll see what the girls think and see if there is a place where we could put it!
