First filming

21st January

We set up the school studio to create a dull and run down bedroom for our main protagonist. The props we used for our mise-en-scene were mirrors, speakers, drugs cabnet/box, camp bed, bedlinning, cusion, make-up, dark clothing with accessories for the hair such as clips and neclace, and we also used make up to give the illusion of bruises and grazes.

To start with, I put some dark make up around Heidi's eyes to suggest sleepless nights and tiredness rather than being hurt. It was further on we added more make-up to the face and body to capture bruises. For this, the main products we used were plum coloured mascara for clotted blood, green, brown and cream eye shadow for bruising and tired eyes and eye liner for cuts on arms.

The quality of acting we recieved today was realled good and we were pleased with the amount of work we got done, especially fighting scenes which looked realistic on camera. The hardest part today was most probably the few shots of lip sinking, but I still thought our day of filming was a success. We will be filming again next week to finish scenes off and tweek parts of the film.
