Filming Progress

Last night (Wednesday 20th January) we successfully filmed some scenes of the richer girls lifestyle, mainly her coming in from school and having a casual conversation with her mum, and then her returning from a shopping trip - this will be set up in split screen against the poorer girl returning from work to show the contrast in how the 2 girls spend their leisure time.

One problem we encountered last night included the fact that we had music playing in the background in the scenes of the richer girl in her bedroom after she has come in from shopping. This mean that everytime we had to film the rest of a scene from a different shot (e.g in the match on action) or to show a reaction shot, we had to match up where abouts the song had got to on the bit that we were continuing from. This meant that filming short scenes was taking us a large amount of time, but as we used a similar technique in our last couirsework last year with a ringtone we were already prepared for this, and had allocated ourselves enough time to get the filming done. Likewise we also had to include a phone ringing in our new film, but we learnt from our mistake of using a complex ringtone last year, so this year we opted just for a siple "ring ring" as opposed to a melodic tone :)

On looking back at the footage afterwards we are very pleased with the quality of the shots we have got :)
