We actually did it!


At the start of the week we were all ready and raring to go, excited about the task in hand. Monday’s shooting took it out of us by five o clock we’d had enough. I don’t think any of us wanted to see another camera again. We didn’t realise it was so much work. A whole day of “Camera rolling”, “Rolling camera”, “Up to speed”, “Edge of frame”, “ACTION”, “CUT!”

For five young females who’ve never been involved in media before, it was a lot to take in. Although we were knackered, we were proud of ourselves, in one day we’d set up, rehearsed and filmed three scenes. Not too bad for amateurs. Tuesday and Wednesday went by in a blur; we just felt we were moving on auto pilot. We were running behind on schedule so we had to put in extra work to catch up. You could tell at times people were getting ticked off but that was to be expected, we were all working so hard.

By Thursday we were worrying we’d never get it done in time but we pushed on and somehow we finished before lunch. We had a great team behind us, a great team of mentors and actors on board.

For a group of people who only met at the start of the week by Thursday, if you saw us you would have thought we’d known each other for years.

So to celebrate our success we had a chip shop lunch and a great afternoon in the park, playing football and hula hooping. So I’d like to give a big thank you to everyone you were great we couldn’t have done it without each other.

Now filming has finished, let the editing begin.
