Pictures of practice shoots

* To set the scene we wanted to ensure that props that would fit the 50's setting; the tea pots, table cloth, the flowers and the cake stand where all elements we saw important in the circumstance.  We bought some cheap cakes to use as props and to keep the cast happy as we know that the filming process can be very tiring.

* We all had a turn with the camera as we all had different views on what we could film and how to film it; this was good as when it came to putting it on the editing software we had a variety of different angles and shots to work with.

* We tried to film a close up of Taran as he played the 'boring conservative husband'. He wore a suit and tie to fit in with the demographic, and we directed him to talk of about something that would appear boring to give the film a comedic feel. Although we will not be including the sound during editing, we believe that by using this technique it would make it appear more natural and realistic.

* We used props such as a mug of tea to give the film to make it seem old fashioned, traditional and dull. We also wanted the representation of the man to seem slightly chauvinistic and for the woman to be a typical 50's domestic housewife; we did this by focusing a lot of the attention on the man.

* When filming Katy throw the cake into Tarans face we had to find a comfortable position for the camera, we decided that having a close up that only displays half of his face would make the event seem more significant as the cake we used was not big, we did not want to make it seem minor or amateur.
