Practice Task Planning

After we had completed the story board, as with planning any filming product we organised our prop list, location and timings. 

Once this was also all completed we did some practise shots to prepare for the actual filming day so we new exactly where are shot where going to be and what the actress had to do. We did this by taking photo's of the positions we intended to use in our filming, to make sure they matched up with the music video we were copying. 

We had to get the direction of the actor the same as the music video otherwise this would be a major continuity error on our part, we also wanted a toy in the frame like Taylor Swift has the knitted bird in the corner of the shot. So we chooose a money as out toy pet, we though we had the get the distance from the camera to the toy right as well, as the bird is very close up to the camera. We also wanted to include a frame in our shot becasue it is obvious Taylor is sitting by a window, so we also wanted to create that allusion with our recreation.
