Filming Process; 4

15/10/11

This was the second chorus where Ashley is dressed as an old women! Once again, I brought in a dress from my Nanny and Hat to make Ashley look as realistic as possible but for the audience to still establish that it is a male teenager to create a comic effect. There is a close-up of two people tripping over him which I wanted to have as a close-up so it doesn't reveal as much violence where the audience can see the individuals. As before, George performed to the camera to create that controversy of him not reacting to his surroundings. I was happy with the composition when a wide shot showing the two characters was shown as they are both balanced out. To me, this reinforces that it is them two that perform the most in this chorus.

The actors that I arranged to meet were: George; Sadie; James; Will and Nick. The footage is placed at 1:31 on YouTube and I wanted to use wide shots where the audience will decode that they are watching times of George through-out the day as he is talking about  he worst day of his life. Wide shots will enable the audience to see what is surrounding the performance to get a better understanding of where about's he is. I specifically have two different cuts from James shoulder-barging George and Will and Nick shooing him away. The camera is positioned further down the road with George, Will and Nick to create the effect that George has continued to walk from where he was with James. I would like to put a transition fade to white between the two cuts to show that he is reflect back and telling the audience the story of why it is the worst day of his life; I feel that the colour white signifies this the most.
