Filming our performer;

This afternoon, due to not having any lessons, we shot some test footage with our performer in the 'Long Road Garden'.

Because it was just for the test footage, we had no costumes and did not try any special ideas- just kept it basic and it was more really about seeing how our chosen performer works and if she is convincing enough to be in our video after all.

Luckily, Fran was great, she took the whole thing seriously and I felt was really convincing at miming a song. She also told me that she's listened to the song quite a bit and has printed off a copy of the lyrics at home and she has learnt most of them, overall she seems very enthuastic about the whole video which is great news for us.

It was a very cold afternoon so it may of seemed a bit rushed and during the 'forest' footage, it may seem a bit dark because the brightness of the camera was set to the lowest, but because we were outside in the sunlight we didn't notice this problem until we moved to a different location.

As we were travelling to our first location a thought rushed in to my head with the whole weird glasshouse type thing in that area, I thought it could be a substitute for the barn then had another great thought, Fran can fake she's too big for it, like Alice does to the house in Alice in Wonderland, because the camera was lightened aswell I think this was overall the best footage we shot and because it was at the very end, Fran was at her strongest too.

I think that maybe we might use those locations in our actual video aswell as the barn but the only problem with the forest location is that you can see cars drive past most of the time.
