First filming session

Our first filming session we decided to shoot on Saturday 26th November was at our chosen location of the Victorian house. We chose the bedroom with the smallest chair as we thought this would reflect the idea of childhood as she is sitting in a chair that is too small and seems more fit for a child or dolls.

We also chose this one first as its a comfortable setting for the main singer of the video to get used to lip syncing and performing the song.

The outfit we chose was a bright red, edgy/military style dress that we thought would be a good contrast of colour against the pale colours of the bedroom and chair.

The make up we chose was very harsh with dark eyes, lips and defined cheekbones.

We were able to get hold of artificial lighting which we found made a big difference on the quality of the picture on the camera.
We also filmed the start of the song when the artist is revealed and comes up from the floor using the underground garage the house has. For this the lighting was dark night with artificial lighting behind the girl creating a silhouette of her.

Overall, we found that the actual preparation for the scene took the most time; getting Aisha in costume and make up took longer than the actual filming itself because we had to think a great deal into how we wanted Aisha's/ Jessie J's image and persona to be seen in this music video. I think as a group, we were successful in showing the performer as an outspoken, confident person who likes to stand out in a crowd
