Filming Day 2

FILMING DAY 2

During the holidays as a group we went to each others houses to shoot the inside scenes. This was a struggle at first as we had to decide how to tackle this without the scenes coming out dodgy. We angled the camera in the corner of the room which captured the entire room, this helped as it demonstrated the characteristics of our characters having an insight of what their room looks like, e.g. hobbies, clothing styles etc.

We recored each scene at least twice so that if one did any how come out weird we would have a backup footage that we could use to replace the bad scenes. We needed to film the bedroom scenes of both characters Maya and Cassie getting ready for their first day of college.


For the character Cassie we did her scene inside Nadia's bedroom which is very girly and pretty. We showed Cassie (Thahmina) getting out of a shower in a bath rope and towel around her head, shortly followed by me plugging in her phone on to speakers so that music is being played whilst getting ready for college, the soundtrack we decided to use is "Beyonce - Crazy in Love". After this shot we took it of me taking off the head towel and a switching on a hairdryer and then searching through the wardrobe looking for an outfit to wear. With the camera we captured Cassie throwing out clothes onto a bed showing that she have a lot of clothing and is in touch with fashion. Following from that it shows her putting on her ID card to show she is going to college and she then unplugs the music. For this, Thahmina (Cassie) went over to Nadia's house to film the scenes. Finally, we used shots of her putting on make up to show she is very focused on looking good. We also showed shots of her plugging in her phone to speakers as it gives a teenage atmosphere if music was played in the morning. This had allowed us to use a youtube song for her scene.

•  Little goofing around pose for the camera, after we had finished recording the bedroom scenes for the character "Cassie".

• Nadia Shooting Thahmina getting ready in the mirror, the close up shows the pretty girls face, this is so the camera captures what the voice over says about desginer handsbags and shoes and popular girls looking after their appearances

For the character of Maya, we shoot her scenes in Nadia's grandmas house, we used her aunties room which was rather plain and tidy in contrast to Cassie who has a girly yet messy room.
The next location we headed off to was to my nans house where we filmed Maya's scenes. We filmed several shots of Maya writing in her diary to show that it is a very important thing to Maya in Trapped. We then showed scenes of a candle lighting and an alarm clock to show the early time of 7:43am which is usually when teenagers start to get ready for school and college. We also showed pictures of Maya getting ready before college but it was very quick compared to Cassie's scenes as Maya is not very focused on her physical appearance. or Nadia we showed from varies angles of her writing inside her diary. We also captured her getting ready such as packing her bags ready for college and putting on her coat and ID card which is significant as for all the characters the ID represents them attending the same college.

•  Nadia as "Maya" writing inside her diary, this would be connected with her voiceover, as while whatever she is writing in her diary would be said out loud on a voiceover for the audience to hear.

• A shot from Maya's bedroom scenes of her putting her books into her bag ready for college and also putting on her coat holding her maths textbook.

For the character of Trevor, we shoot his scenes at Jakir's house, we used his bedroom which we placed the camera near the doorway as the room was not as big to get a lot of angle shots however we was able to show the main scenes in that one angle shot.

For all character scenes, we showed each one of them putting on their ID cards for college so it shows that they are from the same college which connects the opening.

Finally, our last location of the day was the filming in WMC college toilets to show a scene from Maya's past where she is sitting on the toilet eating her lunch. We thought that this scene would highlight her lonely character back in her school days and really bring out her past to the audience. We are thinking of making the scene black and white to show it is from her past life so the audience do not get confused.

• Nadia sitting on a toilet in WMC college, this part was going to represent her being bullied previously in another school, and on the voice over it says "why will it be any different" she feels as if though history will repeat itself therefore she isn't so excited for her first day back.
