Diary Extract by Shelley Brookes

March 23rd
This was our final day of filming and was used to do the car scenes. This was the most difficult scene to film as it was outside college and included driving a car on a real road.
First, we did a shot of Jade, Sharon and Danielle (the bullies) driving down the road in the car. This was done close up and then from a distance so we could get a better shot of the bully Danielle throwing a bottle out of the car window, aiming for the head of Lucy. We then did these shots so that Lucy could be seen walking down the path at the side of the road. The bottle was then thrown so that it would miss her head, that way we didn’t hurt her.
We then did a shot of Danielle throwing the bottle at Lucy’s head but with the car at a stand still, this was so she could do it softer.
Finally, we did a shot from inside the car with the bully Danielle holding the camera. This was so the audience could see it from her point of view.
