Day five of filming

Today we filmed again at my house from around 4:00pm - 6:00pm. We remembered to bring all of the props and costumes that we needed (black dress with white cardigan, bag and flannel shirt), along with the equipment (DLSR camera and tripod).

What we filmed:

• We filmed the long shot of Elsie running up the stairs again, as in editing we noticed that she had forgotten to carry the bag (which would cause problems with the continuity within our narrative).
• The close-up shots of Elsie punching the wall is also something which we filmed again, as the previous ones that we had filmed did not look like a smooth match-on-action shot.
• A mid shot of Elsie sliding down the wall.
• An extreme close-up of Elsie clenching her hair in frustration.
• A close-up of Elsie clenching her fist.
• A close up of Elsie's teary eyes (we used mascara here, and decided to smear it down her face to make it look as if she had been crying).
• A long shot and an over the shoulder shot of Elsie throwing clothes down the stairs in anger.
• We then decided to shoot some stop motion footage that we had planned to match to the lyrics 'Ugly is the'. For this, Laura drew a silhouette of a girl holding an umbrella with the rain pouring down (while each rain drop will appear in each frame, to make it look as if it is raining on her).
• Finally, we decided to film the lip syncing part for Laura and me again. We wanted to do this as in editing we found that when it came up to linking up to the music, it looked as if we were both saying different things.
• A shot of Elsie turning the torch on (which will be used for the instrumental at the beginning of the music video, before the singing starts). 

Here are some screenshots of what we did today:
