Secondary footage to use in opening of short film

In order to fulfill the requirements of the type of genre in which I wish to present to my targeted audience members, it was crucial that I obtained some form of secondary material that would contribute to the opening of the short film. Through, searching on the internet I found this appropriate footage of London Fashion Week for Topshop. Nevertheless, after discovering this footage it became apparent that I was unable to use it within my short film due to the copyright laws attached to the material in which I had intentionally chosen to use in my media text.

Therefore in order to continue to match the ideas of my storyboard to the actual text

First Filming session

Upon designing and making changes to my storyboard it was important for me to carry out the shots that had been distinguished in the pre-production stages of the project.

Therefore I took out a camera and tripod and began filming in a quiet area within a village. This enabled me to collect each shot to the standard that it should be. Whilst making it realistic with the familiar features and surroundings.

Firstly, I began filming shots in a quiet area of the village in which most of the location revolved around greenery and natural surroundings like the small river with the bridge in the first few shots. This natural location reinforced the girls innocence as her condition becomes much worse throughout the course of the narrative. The use of the river helped to show how the teenage girl can take different paths in order to overcome her disease. Nevertheless, the use of her friend in these shots helps to reinforce a barrier preventing the girl from dealing with the disease by herself.

It was crucial for me to continually reinforce the eating disorder through the use of symbolising objects, variation and significance of shots, editing, speed but most importantly the visual presentation of what the characters are wearing. I decided that my main character (Katie) should be wearing a long blazer to create a straight silhoutte with the help of tight leggings to reinforce the figure of her. My other character was wearing a black hoody with leggings and a shirt. The use of black helped to show her empowering domineerance over her friend in trying to help her overcome the disease. Nevertheless, it also helped to enforce the "darkness" of the narrative.

After filming the shots in the natural serene surroundings I moved onto filming with a small shop close to the village. This enabled me to show the protagonists fear of food and need to establish herself around lots of magazines in order to help sustain her idea of the "perfect body image".

Once taking a variety of shots within the shop I filmed an intense argument between the two friends. Thus, helping to show the eating disorder is affecting the girl not just physically but also externally in her life as well.

The last shots of the day involved filming shots of the main protagonist throwing up. I used many sound effects through the video camera to keep it realistic when put together in the editing stages of post- production.
