Whoops.

Okay, so we've been a bit bad about this blog thing.

To catch up:

Since the last post, we've filmed a dance routine, which was actually pretty much made up on the spot. The shots themselves were inspired by a video I've seen. From 1.45 in the video, we see two characters dancing, with a mirror between them.



We have used this idea, but instead using a brick wall just off Oxford Road and instead of using two actors, we have used Fatima, who plays the girl in our video. First, she dressed like a boy and did a slightly more male routine and we filmed her from her right and then she dressed like a girl and did a different routine and we filmed her from her left.

On Monday, we captured the footage and we used a split screen to make it appear as two characters dancing with a wall between them. Towards the end of the routine and the song, we see female dancer Fatima sink to the floor. The idea here, is to have images of Asaad flash in and to end the split screen. This is to show that by losing Asaad, she feels as if she's losing a part of herself, capturing the essence of the song and also I think, adding a bit more depth to it.

Since we have captured all the footage so far, we know which bits need to be redone and we also have a rough idea of how much footage we may need more of. We missed Thursday's lesson due to college activities, but we plan to continue filming during half term next week.
