Behind the scenes

When we were filming we were able to capture some of the behind the scene action. we took some video of the warm and getting ready and set up.


Here are some still images of some of the different locations that we filmed at.

Planning our Filming

These were some extra things that we needed to do to make sure that we were fully prepared for our filming.

Equipment That we will be using



For the day that we will be filming we will be borrowing two high quality cameras and also two tripods which will be different sizes which will enable us to get different angles.









Planning for the Projector

When using the projector we will need to connect it to a laptop so we are able to play the background that we want for our video. To do this we have created a PowerPoint slide with different colours on it that we can play on a loop as the background of our video. We can also change the speed of which it plays which means we can have it fast of slow depending on the pace of the song that we are filming. we have also used different transitions to make it more interesting. We will however only be using the projector in the Dance Drama studio because it has a plain white background and this is where the colours will show up the best.

We have been lucky enough to borrow a moving projector from the PE department at our school.


Cast Members

We made a group chat on a social media site with everyone who was going to be in our video this meant that we could tell them as a group what they needed to bring and also what time they needed to be there. With them all being in the same group chart it meant that everyone wouold receive the same information and also that it would save me and Georgina time as we did not have to tell everyone individually.

Group Roles:
We are going to share out the roles during the day equally. For example when filming we are going to be uses two cameras so we will each have one camera each. We will also share the organisation of the props out so we know who is in charge of each prop this will also ensure that we do not lose any. Working together a group will mean that no time will be wasted as we do not have a lot of it.

Advertising of auditions


This is the poster that we displayed to encourage people to audition for our video. We first advertised this through social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter we thought this was a good way to access out of people who live in this area who might be friends of someone that we know. We also displayed the poster around our school so people who do dance inside school or outside school will be able to audition. We thought this poster was good because it has a lot of bright colours and The title is bold and big so people know exactly what the poster is about. It is also good because all the key information is on it.








Once we had confirmed who we wanted to be in our video we created a group on Facebook so we could confirm what they needed to bring for example costumes.
