Filming Day 1

I began by following my story board and filming the shots of Sarah and her friend dancing. I found I liked the angles from a distance, creating a long shot, with the reflection of the characters in the mirror. I decided to film the same clip from many angles so that I can cut between the angles as my research shows that in trailers for the genre 'teen drama' trailers often use many angles to display one section of the film.

When it came to filming the clips with dialogue, I developed my story board by once again using different angles to display the same clip. I did this by filming each section from both point of views so that i can cut to the person that is talking when editing.

I remembered that during many 'teen drama' trailers there are often humourous clips added to create a comic feel to the film, making the audience more relaxed. this led me to film a similar clip to add to my trailer as the actress for Jasmine was doing a funny impression, I decided to film it and add it in as it added a comic feel to the story. I also filmed the actresses of Jasmine and Alisha laughing so that I could add those clips in as well.

Finally, I added another section to my trailer of Alisha passing Jasmine some ballet clothes and say 'wear these next time'. This gives the impression that Alisha is helping Jasmine to become a ballerina and it also includes more dialogue into the trailer.
