20th nov - rach

Today we focused on taking photos, head-shots and filming shots for Rent. While the photos and head-shots went towards designing of the programmes and posters, we filmed bits for the promo video and for the film that is shown in the last scene; in the Rent movie, a film clip displays all the main characters as well as clips of the life support group, the homeless etc. In the last scene, we are going to project the film on a screen at the back of the stage as they do in the actual film, reminiscing on the past events.

They filmed me and Sophie as Joanne and Maureen, interacting with eachother such as hugging and laughing with each other. The films would be silent as well as the song 'Seasons Of Love' will be played over the top. This meant we had to be clear with our actions and gestures so the viewers would understand our relationship (that we are partners)

Everyone was also filmed walking into the woods, and on the floor in on line, laughing and smiling with each other. As everyone was involved in this it showed the friendship group's bond and unity, which cancels out all the issues and fights by reminiscing their happy moments.
