To prepare for our film we decided to do a photoshoot of our main character in role which will help us when filming.
First, an establishing shot of the first scene is our character Jess asleep in her bed. The pictures helped us to work out the mise-en-scene in each scene, we then designed her bedroom according to the personality of 'Jess' this included: piles of clothes everywhere, lots of heals and generally a skatty room.
Above is a shot of Jess waking up, we ruffled up her hair, made her look as natural as possible and scatteredcushions ontop of her bed so it was obvious that she just woke up.
Above is a picture of Jess choosing her outfit for the day, she is wearing bright purple polka dot pyjama shorts which show her bubblyness.
This is a shot of Jess applying her makeup, we really liked the idea of using a shot which reflects in the mirror so we were testing out a few ways in which it could work.
This shot is when we were thinking about the mise-en-scene of our characters room and how she comes across in it. Jess is very disorganised, ditsy and bubbley so the fact she has dying flowers and shoes on top of her wardrobe just matches this perfectly.
We dressed Jess in a short polkadot dress with leather ankle boots, a tote bag and pretty plaits. in the picture she is checking her phone which shows she is very social and likes to keep up to date with everyone or she could be checking the time because she is late.
This is a behind the scenes shot of us back combing our actresses hair so that it looks messy and like she just got out of bed.
This is a shot from what we are planning for our final scene, the closing shot will be of the door to show that she has left the house all in one piece after all of the dramas of getting ready.
