For the third filming session we shot our 80's scene which included a
aerobic class which used the stereotypical iconography of that era for
example, leg warmers, headbands, bright clothes etc. The main character
was shot walking into the class late an being very confused as to were
she is. We had to do a lot of preparation to be able to get people in
the scene as we needed to make it look as real as an aerobic class as
possible, this involved having a lot of people be in the scene and
making sure that they all had good clothes to wear so that they were
easily highlighted to be from that date. The storyboard was stuck to as
it was very important that we were able to get everyone where we wanted
and what we wanted the characters to do. This was a great way to play
around with working with other people and more than only the main
characters, this gave us the chance to see if we were able to work with
other people and if we are able to organise everyone properly.
To
be able to get all of the people to be in the shot we had to make sure
that they also had fun so we made it more interesting by bringing make
up and putting on music and having a relaxed environment so that they
didn't feel that they had to do it and it had to be done in a boring
way. The group also had to make sure that we got people that weren't shy
as the filming would not have looked as real as an proper class. The
shot types were very important as we had to use all of the characters
and show the whole of the setting and all of what the characters are
wearing, this is because if the scene need to be easily distinguished
and with the colours that were worn this had definitely been put
across.
