Review of the 'Marriage' Scene

Yesterday, 18/11, Me and my group filmed the marriage scene in the hall;which featured Prince as the groom, Yana as the bride, me as the mother of the groom who eventually stops the wedding. We also got other people from the 6th form to help be extras in our scene. This process was quiet stressful as most of the people who volenterred to help backed up includind Pedro, our priest for the day. However, as a group, we managed to get hold of a priest and other members of the congregation; which helped the setting look more realistic. I strongly think that the entire process went quite well.

Costume and Props


To make our scene look realistic, we agreed that everyone should dress formal to create a scene of a real wedding. The bride and the groom had to look very formal; and I think that was also done very well. Both of them create a real feel of a real wedding as audiences would believe it. Also, their body language and gestures also helped in making this scene realistic. Below is an image of them at the altar.

Nevertheless, Racism was still a highlight in this scene, as I (mother of groom) is dressed in african wear; this emphasises on the fact that I am disagreeing to this marriage. By wearing this costume, I think that it draws the atttention of the audiences to me, making them question themselves, perhaps if the I (mother of groom) agree with the fact that my son is getting married to a white lady or if I would be doing something quite dramatic?

Also, the bride(Yana) and groom (Prince) are both wearing a combination of white and black; this could also be portrayed as being neutral and innocent.
