Filming our Wedding Scene

We started our filming and invited many different people from the common room to enable it to to look like a "close" family wedding. The hall in school was a good option as it was the place were we could film without much noise, we did consider filming outside but the weather was really bad and the wind and rain would make it more difficult.

We did experience some difficulty with the background, Prince and I searched for a red rug to be symbolism of danger and passion as red is a good significance to something going wrong. Rushing around and finding resources was hard too but we found the mutlicoloured background so it could signify "the racism scene". It was also really hard to get the shots because mostly, the audiences were in fits of laughter and there were 3 in our group and we were all in the shots, therefore we had to improvise and ensure that we can get the shots we wanted.

Overall, after reviewing the video scenes we have a lot to work on, especially in cutting specific scenes to make sure that we make it short, so that it can contain elements of cliffhangers. We also need to ensure that we make these clips much slower because we did pace up a lot.

However, i really liked the contrast with the racism scene, our excellent use of costumes have added realism into it. Prince arrived, extremely suited with a fresh haircut and a few audiences to add. Barabara was there with an African wear costume, which emphasised her character in the story. I myself, had to dress in a wedding dress and get a bouquet of flowers. We told the other characters to come in formally.

Props were hard to pick out, because we wanted to make sure that somehow, we could portray a close family and friends wedding in a small space of the stage.



We used confetti to give it a sense of celebration and let the audiences be more involved within it.




The red carpet added emphasise to danger, I also asked my best woman-Anna to wear a black and red dress to the wedding, again to signify the danger.

We gave it the whole sense of "multi-coloured" to enable more precision into adding realism to the story and portraying the whole sense of a "colour-based" wedding.




Here we stuck a few decorations to the wall to add a little more realism to the colourful background. Our priest stand had to have some sort of highlights that would make him stand out, so we thought that this would be a great way of making sure that some attention is focused on him.
