FILMING - Day 1

Toady was Group 22's first day of filming (which was a long time coming, but it’s finally happened!).

We filmed at one of our main locations which is the Peregrine’s Pianos.

At first Amber was filming, Raheleh was in charge of playback, Sibora was the performer and I was directing the camera and performer. However that changed when we noticed that Sibora found it a bit difficult with getting the hang of playing the recurring piano chords. so we decided that Amber will appear in the filming as the piano player, Sibora still the performer, Raheleh still in charge of playback and doing filming and directing.

Finally our locations were booked and we have started filming at the piano establishment. It actually started off quite difficult because it was hard for me to try imitate playing the piano. So we decided amber would play the piano and I would sing to her and the audience. I was very nerves. But I tried to ease and feel comfortable with the camera. At some places I got my lyrics mixed up so I should be rehearsing more. 

Later that day we had the green screen booked out and was trying out our idea. It was purly trail and error. So for the next time we had the green screen room book we know how we are going to do it

This Saturday I spoke to a dance choreographer who advised me to flirt with the camera and go over the top because with the camera over the top looks modest so you have to really go for it.

Below is a 'behind the scenes' clip which Raheleh has filmed on a flip camera during the filming process
