Filming at the Junction

At the moment we are capturing the footage we got from the Junction yesterday.

Yesterday after school me, Louis, Hannah, Emma, Yasmine and Tilly went to the Junction, we al go there at 1pm and went to the reception to talk to the guy that Nick had arranged to show us the rooms. The dressing room was perfect for our music video, as it had the coat pegs we wanted and mirrors all around it. The other room we had to dress up a little to make it more convincing. We closed the curtains and eventually got a technician to help us sort out some lighting which was very effective. We also found some props such as the chairs we needed for the dance routine in a cupboard.

We started with filming the dance routine because Emma could only stay for an hour, and we got a variety of shots to the music, and a few cutaways for the dancers. When Emma left we started filming Hannah's lipsync to the music and then did the dressing room scene. I think we stayed until around 4.20pm doing these scenes.

Today we are starting the editing process (mainly sorting all of the clips so they are lipsynced) and we have one last cutaway shot to film which will be a group of people playing cards around a table. I bought the cards yesterday on the way to the Junction just in case we'd have time to film the scene there.

Sadly I think we have lost the whole Jazz bar theme, but with the costumes we kept the berlesque look at least, and if we film the card scene well it may still be possible to create the Jazz bar effect, though the actors there will not be in costume and there are only 10 of us in the class at the moment because everyone else is still filming.
