We had planned a structure of filming prior to the day therefore everything went according to plan, our models turned up which meant we started no problem.
The night before shooting, our male model pulled out of the project stating he wasn't comfortable doing it. This left us at a short notice to find someone else, however i managed to find Dominic Bird to model for us without hesitation.
On the morning of filming, we had him model two outfits for us, one day and one night outfit. This went smoothly without any mis-haps. We did four takes of Dominic walking down to ensure we had a choice when it came to post production.
We had a few problems with the green screen itself as we had to create a green floor for models/ presenters to stand on because as a group we had decided to use virtual studios and google images for the editing process to use as our studios.
Once we had the male model filming done, we moved onto the female model. Due to problems with finding a willing female to model for us, I stepped in a modelled two outfits as well, one for the day and a night outfit.
A couple of days before filming, we had decided to add another presenter, Bradley. We thought it would be interesting to have a male presenter as well as a female one. Carys managed to find a volunteer who was willing to help us out with the introduction, entertainment section and the fashion show.
Due to the last minute changes, on the day before we began filming, I tweaked the script a little and divided the script so Bradley would present the male clothes and Carys would present the female outfits. It looked great when we watched it back afterwards, we took a couple of takes for us to then be able to decide on the best one with editing. The technician which was helping us out with the equipment in the green screen room suggested that we could cut them out and place them anywhere we wanted them when editing, so their positioning on green screen didn't matter too much.
Another change which we had to be quick to make was the script for the male model clothes, as our model pulled out we weren't able to read the script which read a different outfit to the one our new model was able to provide for us.
Bradley was wonderful and was able to quickly learn the new outfits; we kept the shops and prices the same as we thought it didn't matter too much on the little details on prices.
After we finished filming the fashion show, we quickly moved onto filming the entertainment section, which went really well. The script was again divided into tow between Carys and Bradley.
Carys focused on the film section, introducing the new releases and Bradley presented the festivals and music. Because of time restrictions (1 minute entertainment update) I decided to take out a couple of things from the script in the film part, we avoided the Titanic re-release and the Lucky One with Zac Efron. Everyone in the group agreed that it'd be best to keep it shorter and more to the point. Carys suggested to keep the Beauty and the Beast 3D re-release for a bit of variety in the films presented.

Here are some photographs I took to document the filming progress, Carys and Bradley filming the introduction, the entertainment section and the fashion show.
The entertainment section took the quickest to film out of the three main parts we did. Our presenters split the script between the two. After the first take, they decided to improvise a little to make the show seem more real and relaxed whilst filming. They decided on a friendlier take with the introduction to the show. It looked like they enjoyed it more and it fit with the feel we wanted to achieve. I'm really pleased with how the filming went. As a pair f presenters, they looked as if they had been working on this show for years rather than hours, which worked in our favour. I believe the takes for this part will be the easiest to edit in the post production process.
