Today in periods one and two we used these frees as oppurtunities to film my scenes. I began by printing off the script I compiled in order to see which shots we were able to do today. Unfortuntately one of the shots with the hospital letter , we wanted to; i had forgotton to email the letter to myself, but we can do this tommorrow or Sunday. We began by Charley taking a picture of the outfit I was wearing in order to show the examiner exactly what the costume consisted of. This included the following:
Black plimsolls
Black glittery scarf
Black and white stripey top
Dark purple cardigan
Grey sleeveless hoodie
Dark blue Levi 'Red Label' Jeans
All of this was designed to make me look fashionable but in a gracefully ' masculine way in contrast to the promiscuity of  Amiee's costume.

Here are the filming shots that we took:
  • Shot of me watching Jeremy Kyle- to express the label of 'boring housewife', reclining on the sofa reading the Sun newspaper, before putting it down and focusing intently on the action being shown. This to implement the dull nature of my life in juxtaposition to the intricacy and mystery surrounding Amiee and Chris's relationship.This then transcends into a gradual pan around the living room to establish the setting.
  • We then tried a shot which I had been thinking about for ages, in order to start our film. I thought of an extreme closeup of my eye closed before quickly flying open and the camera zooming in. The first time we did this it didn't work very well. However when we tried it the 2nd time I got closer to the camera and I thought it looked quite effective. Charley then suggested that perhaps we could end the teaser with Amiee's eye to juxtapose against the beginning.
  • Over the shoulder shot of me putting plates in the kitchen sink, before washing my hands and turning the tap of.This is to show my house wife label once again.
  • Charley then panned around the kitchen to establish the shot
  • A wide shot of me making tea
  • High angle shot of me throwing up over the toilet- I made sure that it appeared realistic by using the correct body language, facial expressions and sounds of heaving. This shot was repeated 3 times and on the 3rd time Charley suggested I should sink to the floor displaying my illness.
  • I next thought of a very intriguing shot which I thought would appear very effective should it work. This involved the camera behind me, ensuring that there was rule of thirds, whilst I looked in the mirror, leant forward and surveyed my face in disgust, my hand visibly shaking, before quickly turning away to throw up.
  • Birdseye view of me in the garden sleeping on a chair, enjoying the summer sun
  • Side shot of me putting the washing on
  • Closeup of me rubbing my stomach
  • Full body shot to show costume
  • far shot of me hunched over the sofa- however we deleted this straight off the camera because it didn't look effective at all.
