Diary of a Day Shooting 1

Monday 19th November 2012

1:00 We arrived at Scarlett's house which was the location for our lip syncing scene. We discussed outfits and decided on a casual look for our first scene. This was set just outside Scarlett's house in an alley way with brick walls. We wanted a rebellious scene so we thought graffiti would be a good idea. This took a little bit longer than planned as we couldn't decide on an outfit that would suit the scene.

2:10 Hair and makeup went a bit quicker than we expected as we had already planned what we wanted. This bought us back on schedule meaning we'd have more time to film. Straight hair and bright pink lipstick were used in this scene as we felt the pink would look wild and rebellious.

2:30 We went into the alley way and set up the camera preparing to film. We chose to do this scene first as it's outside and we wanted to make sure there was good lighting. Using a can of pink hairspray disguised as a spray paint can, Scarlett pretended to put grafitti on the wall. Occasionally, we had people walking through the alley way but we made it clear that we weren't actually vandelising and just filming for media.

3:30 As the alley way scene took quicker than we expected, we had more time on our hands to set up the next location. We bought some fake police tape of Ebay.com and used bluetack to stick it to a white wall in Scarletts house. We put strips of it all over the wall at different angles to represent a police scene. We set the camera up to make sure it fit all in the frame and looked good.

4:00 We then changed the makeup so that Scarlett was wearing red lipstick as we thought this represented danger but also sexiness. These are the two things we wanted the police outfit to represent. The police outfit was worn with heels to create a more feminine look aswell as props such as a police hat, baton and handcuffs.

4:30 We began filming with the music playing in the background to make sure the lip syncing would match. We shot close ups of the heels, handcuffs and the stars face as this is often seen in music videos. We went through the song 5 times to make sure that we got all the footage we needed, making it easier to edit.

5:30 After an hour of filming this scene, we decided we had enough footage and finished filming. We filmed a video saying what we thought went well and what we could have prepared more for etc.
