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.
