MiniVid: Shoot

Our shoot took place on Monday the 14th pf June in school. We filmed our required shots in 2 hours before lunch time, in 2 different locations. We began filming in the gymnasium, using the ropes to swing on and the blue mats, for the effect of moving water. We gathered a lot of shots from this location, including shots for the whistling at the start, and lip syncing for the lyric 'It's your money that we want, and your money we shall have'. We spent about 1 hour at this location, before moving down to the swimming pool.

At the swimming pool, we used 2 kayaks to act as 'pirate ships', and Ben and Curtis were the ones who were in these boats. It took longer to decide what to do here, as it proved more difficult than what we first anticipated. Many shots of Ben and Curtis in the kayaks were taken, and we also had 2 extras who came along to help out.

Whilst filming, we tried to link our shots with the lyrics, for example we filmed shots of Dom, Curtis, Ben and myself pulling on the ropes to accompany the lyrics 'Hoist the jolly roger'. We also had people skipping along, which we anticipated to link with the dancing lyrics.
