Filming Day 2

We managed to film most of our scenes on Tuesday, but needed to add an extra performance shot. We have a drama studio in BBA which is used for several performances, and has staging blocks with a lighting system so we thought this would be a perfect setting for a performance shot. The curtains in the studio are black which were useful as we were able to create a plain background, making sure that the main emphasis would be on Emma. We used some stage blocks, at first just using one level but then moving one on top of the other so she was more central to our shots. We chose different angles to shoot from, one low angled shot to make her look more powerful as she was singing and the attention would all be on her, we used a close up of her face as she was singing and another shot where she was stood in the middle of the camera and you could see the whole of her body. We filmed each of these shots twice as we didn't know what lighting would look best on the screen. We filmed once using a spotlight which focussed on Emma, and another one with just some background lights so she was visible but not as blatant.
