1) Evaluation: Did you enjoy the workshop day? What were your best bits and why?

I really enjoyed the workshop day, even though it was such a long and tiring day, the attitudes of all the cast and crew helped to create a vibrant and positive atmosphere to work in. It was a really interesting experience to work alongside ex-students from Latymer who are now professionals in the industry, such as Dom our director, in a professional environment that we created in our studio. It was exciting to see how different departments and roles come together on set; like the make-up department, the runners, the camera work and the lighting.

One of my favorite parts of being on set was getting to watch the cast perform on the big screen which was set up to allow everyone to see what was being seen through the camera lens. Watching everyone perform on the screen was also useful because it meant that the smaller details in the scene could be seen more clearly, allowing changes to be made to make everything as precise as possible. It was good for the rest of the cast to be able to watch each other perform and cheer eachother on while they were performing.

It was cool to see how the make-up and hair department works, and it was really fun to have my make-up done by a professional. I didn't realise how much attention to detail is paid by the make-up artists to replicate the make-up of the girls in the real video, onto the cast in our remake.
