Filming the footage

Acting with Eleanor and Martyna

I filmed with Eleanor and Martyna on a day in the October half term. We managed to film all the footage in one day. We used my house and the park close by as the two main locations. I had planned to film in town as well but it ended up being very difficult to find the time to film on two days so I was only able to film in two of the locations. 

The filming went smoothly, Eleanor and Martyna were very willing to help and were comfortable in front of the camera. I was happy with the footage that I got and then spent the next month or so editing and sorting it out. 

Dancing with Olivia

I had planned to film with Olivia with a projector - projecting the footage that I'd gotten of Eleanor and Martyna over her as she danced. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get hold of one in time and just had to film with Olivia as normal. 

The filming with Olivia went well, although I was hoping for a completely white location but was unable to find one - so I used my school's sports hall, which was where I took the concept pictures with Olivia. 

I filmed Olivia dancing to the whole song twice through so that I had excess footage in case I needed it. I also filmed shorter clips where I'd ask her to emphasise an emotion just for a certain part of the song.
