Influences

Location Shots


School Hall- we have chosen to shoot the dancer, played by Cindy Wellings , in the hall because it has a stage with curtains behind which will link in with the idea that she is performing. It's also a large spacious area which means Cindy is able to move around easily when we film.



Drama room- We are going to film the actor, played by Dom Sauboorah, in the large drama room which is situated in our school because it links in with his characters hobby perfectly. We have taken into consideration that lighting could be an issue because it's painted all black which means we might not be able to see the character's face cleary, so when we film we plan to use the white lighting or spotlight. 
Gym- We are going to film "The Gymnast", played by Stephanie Parker, in the gym because it relates to her characters sport. The large windows means that alot of light could shine through and affect the shots so this will have to be considered when choosing where to set up the camera. The large room also means Steph can move around easier and we can be more creative.

Final Media Song..



On Monday after school, we booked the recording studio and recorded the vocals and bass for our song. Then, with help from the technician we edited it and mixed it to create our final soundtrack. :)

Music Lyrics!

Here are the lyrics to our song, which we are going to record in the recording studio along with the bass this week. We made it so that the lyrics relate to our story:
'Cos I want you to know that I'm not who you see,
And I want you to know I'm not here for being me.
'Cos I want you to see that you're not who you want,
Taking a change, acting a line, It's all you see when you've come this far.

All you see when you look at me in the mirror you're looking at me,

All I see when I look at you I see you for you are not who you want to be

Take the time, to make people see through all the lies


Looking around now can't you see, all these things we're meant to be,


All this time I see you for who you are not who you want,
It's such a shame that you've come so far to see me.

Music Development 3


During our media lesson we went to a spare classroom to try and get some lyrics to go with our song. We came up with some, which were improvised and then changed them slightly so they fit in with the opening sequence. Here's a video to show what we have so far :)

Here is a video, taken shortly after, but with drums added, with the help from our friend Conor. So far this week we have been able to record the guitar and drums in the recording studio, so next we hope to record the lyrics and bass guitar.
