Photo Shoot for our poster and magazine cover

On Monday 6th of January it was our first day back after the Christmas holidays and in our group we decided that we wanted to take the photos for our poster and magazine front cover. Prior to monday we created a group chat of Watsapp including our group members and cast. This allowed us to tell them when they were needed and for what reason, in the group chat we were also able to tell them what they needed to bring and what time they were needed. For the photos all the cast were asked to wear a going out dress and heels, the reason we asked them to wear this was because it shows that they are not like everyone else and also shows that they are popular which we stated in the narrative.

For our casting we choose to have five girls and I am one of them. The problem we are having is that five girls are quite hard to handle because some of them mess around and don't listen. Also we have to work out when the girls are available to film and how long they can stay after school for. The lighting outside is working against us because by the time all the girls are dressed its already getting dark outside, so this means we are having less time to film.
When we arrived for the shoot our group had a clear idea of what we wanted our photos to look like and me and my group member Precious had practiced the idea earlier in the day, so we wouldn't waste time for the real thing. On this day it was very windy and cold but luckily the rain had stopped so we could still take our time. All of the girls were wearing short sleeved dresses so we were trying to work as quickly as possible because it was cold and we didn't want them to get ill. After we took a couple of photos they were what we wanted but they didn't link to horror so we decided to put mud on the girls to link in with the idea of the photo. At first the cast was not vey happy with this idea but once it was done they just went along with the idea. These photos were taken outside near the back of the school where it was just field and trees. This set the scene for the posters and the trailer.

After about an hour and a half we decided to take some photos in our photo studio at school because we wanted a variety of different shot and angles that work best for the poster and magazine front cover. The reason why we wanted to take our photos first before filming was because it gives us more time to play around with different ideas and see what works best.
