Finished Filming

We have now finished all of all filming and can now start editing and putting all of the trailer together. We can now start to concentrate on creating a studio ident and a production company for our trailer and creating a film poster and a film magazine front cover to complete our promotional package.

Filming 10th December


Today, we filmed scenes around the school that show the conflict between the two girls. We also started to film the sabotage scenes where Miranda comes into the toilet with her make-up bag and whilst she in the toilets, Millie comes into the toilet and robs Miranda's makeup. We also filmed scenes in the corridor where Miranda is with Greg to make Millie jealous and then Millie goes off crying. We also filmed Millie running out of her audition in a really happy mood and doing a crazy run, which emphasises her geeky character.

Filming 6th December

Today, we filmed scenes that will be played after Greg's audition to show how popular he is in school and how all the girls obsess over him and fancy him. In both scenes, they shout 'OMG he's so fit!' and I think this helps the audience to understand that his character is supposed to be the most popular boy in school. We haven't decided which one we're going to use yet.

Filming 4th December

Today, we filmed the panel scenes. We got three teachers who were willing to take part and we had to use a table and 3 chairs and placed them in front of the black curtain in the school hall to make it seem like they're in the same place as the auditionees at the same time. We filmed each reaction for each of the auditions and I think the use of the panel is really effective and adds comedy to the trailer.

Filming- 3rd December



Today, we filmed some more of the audition scenes. Once again we had to set up the spotlight in the school hall after we booked the use of the hall for lunchtimes. We filmed with Natalie today, the girl who is supposed to be awful. We filmed her audition and her reactions to the judges. Although we haven't actually filmed the judges scenes yet, we know that they're going to have a bad reaction to her audition and the head judge is going to shout 'USELESS' so we wanted to get a reaction shot of Natalie crying. Also today, we filmed with Penny and Mollie who are singing and dancing and one of them goes wrong and so they have a big argument and storm out. We wanted to incorporate a scene like this into our trailer because on shows like the X factor and Britain's got Talent there is always an act that goes completely wrong and has a massive argument.

Filming- 1st December 2011

In this filming session, we decided to film the corridor scene where the geeky girl, Millie , is walking down the corridor minding her own business when a group of people also walk down the corridor the opposite way towards her. The main person in this group of people, Kieran, trips her up so that she drops her folder and all the sheets in her hand and they end up on the floor in a mess. Kieran and his group of friends all laugh at her and mock her and single her out so that everyone thinks she's just a geeky nobody with no friends. Millie, in shock, then quickly picks up all of her sheets and her folder and makes a quick exit through the side doors, looking visibly upset.



We also filmed the contrasting scene to the one where Millie's folder gets knocked out of her hand. We wanted to show the complete difference in the two character's personalities and status within the school so we filmed Miranda walking down the corridor with her friends behind her and all the kids in the corridor move out of the way because she's so popular.
