We started off by going to the school pavillion during the start of lessson 4 at about 11:40 to set up in preparation for the afternoon. Me, Jaden, and Georgia set up different posters and mise-en-scene to help the room look like a practice room that would be used. We also had some help from Caleb as he gave us a hand setting up. We wanted to cover a large area so we could get a variety of shots without accidently getting anything caught in the background.

Once Sam and Nate arrived we ensured that everyone who was going to be filmed was dressed appropriately for the star image we were trying to convey. Once we started filming we used some equipment such as lights and the wheelchair to get dolly shots. We first got shots without much movement to ensure we had some good clips in case the moving shots weren’t very good. Then we got footage of Sam and Nate lip syncing whilst we played the music to ensure it was in time with the song. We wanted the actors to act as though they were practicing the song in a practice room and tried to ensure this by directing them to do so. After this was done we got some close shots framed on the instruments and the singer. We also got a lot of footage of the drumming and guitar playing which we have to ensure to edit to the beat so it looks correct.

What went well:

• We got good footage of the chorus
• A lot of footage of the drums
• We had very good mise-en-scene
• We got some good lip syncing footage

What could have been better:

• We could have gotten more footage of later in the song
• We could have gotten more instrument footage
• We could have gotten more footage of the opening
