When we filmed our first shots our shots were not as strong as we thought them to be. To make them stronger, during the half term we re-filmed our first two scenes making sure to use the camera and other equipment accurately, we re-filmed the library scene and the very beginning before Taja makes her way to the library (Taja and Florence leaving college) not forgetting the flashbacks of Taja (Samantha) Florence (Rachel) and Shakyrah (Zoe).
We added some shots to emphasise the different characters roles. Shakyrah's dead, her all white costume symbolises this as does the other characters not acknowledging her. We have Taja reading a prospectus to show she is not only academically focused but she is also focused on the future.
We tried to involve everyone in the filming process so everyone knew how to properly use the camera and put their skills into action. The actors and actresses were able to film each other. Overall we learnt that if you want perfectly clean and visible shots we'd need to focus the camera and use the tripod to make sure the camera is positioned accurately.
