How are production day went - Day 1

I started our filming in the beginning of January. I spent a day shooting the shots 4 to 14. I managed to get the shots completed that I intended to however we struggled to get some of the close ups as I found the stand was stiff to move and it jolted the camera around. Also I struggled with lighting as the room only had regular spot lights that I was able to turn however I struggled to get the balance of to bright or to dark in the corner where the actress was sat. When I conduct our next day of shooting one thing I will ensure is that I have appropriate lighting and that I do not have to many time constraints so we can reshoot things if they need doing with out having to rush as this could affect the final product.

Planning - costume

The character will wear rather simple clothes as I just want her to look like a normal teenage girl, this will help our audience to relate to her. The actress will be wearing a pink hoody and jeans, as both of these items are what a typical teenage girl will wear. As the film continues the girls style will change as she matures and her situation changes.

My chosen location

I decided to go for the third option, which was the smaller pink bedroom. I decided to go for this room because it is representative of the age group that I hope to appeal to. The colour also shows how are character is immature and is still young for her age. I will be able to film in the room despite the size because I have found a way of getting are long shots from out side of the door looking into the room. I will be able to get our shots of the distance out of the window as the room is based in a countryside location.
