Filming - Day 2

The second lot of filming was done at Alanna’s house. We chose this as a location because of the big garage, and typical brother’s bedroom. This gave us a great number of shots that we could take. The garage was where the first lot of filming was done. The door was lifted and the lights turned on to really make sure that there was now dark ‘haze’ on the tape. The camera was first positioned at the opening of the garage, with Becky stood in front and Amy and Becky stood behind at the sides, holding guitars. This obeyed the ruled of thirds, and served as a good standard shot that took in most of the garage. Footage was taken from this position a couple of times.

The same routine was performed, but with the camera place at different points around the garage, including different angles of each performer. We also held the camera, and walked around the performance area, zooming in and out on faces and guitars whenever necessary. Regarding dynamics, these shots will be very useful in making the final cut as visually interesting as possible.

The wrecking of the boy’s bedroom was mostly filmed too, but we still have to get the pillow from Mrs. Allison to throw out of the window. The bedroom was shown neat and tidy, and the two girls entered, making a mess. We filmed for a couple of minutes, things getting thrown about and trodden on. We will probably speed sections of this up, so that the process is shows, but without taking up the whole length of the song. Paper was also tossed around the room, which would serve as a substitute for the pillow at this time. The camera was placed facing different objects and places that were to be trashed, such as a high angle shot point at a chest of draws that then hand its contents taken out and wrecked.

Scissors and old clothes played quite a big part too. The girls were filmed cutting parts of the clothes up, and then pulling them apart together. This ended up being quite symbolic as the fabric was pulled thin and finally, snapped. The bathroom was involved in shooting the phone and sim card scene. The sim card was filmed floating around it the water which can be used at a later time.

The photograph was burned in front of the camera, a ‘signed’ gesture from Wayne Rooney. Whilst this provided a perhaps bigger impact, it is still the bike scene which will be the ultimate result, so we really do need to find an old bike soon. Finally, a shot was taken of Amy and Becky walking down the road with a guitar over one shoulder. This will be used at the end of the song as a statement to the boyfriend ‘I’m done here’.
