Unfortunately our school system was playing up the day we were to be uploading our video so the main piece can only be found at http://bjbriscoe-jabby.blogspot.com/2010/05/main-movie.html [the paragraph below the video on the link was not written by me so below is my own interpretation/ analysis ]
Our main piece was originally my idea for a continuity piece but it over run slightly and the main piece we had filmed the day before was we realised invalid for use as there were dier continuity errors and we couldn't refilm the places where mistakes were made because the cast we used theen were no longer around as they were apart of a consortium and are just avilable certain days of the week.
We did however get a main piece done & main piece started of similarly to Save The Last Dance with an audition- straight away letting the audience into the story, from the off making the main characters personality appearant her shyness and unwillingness to go in. The girl with her a supportive role makes the audience concider if she wil remain this way and want to know who she is and her relavance to the story. The judge in the scene having a very sarcastic and snappy tone hints that its foreshadowing negative news ahead adding tension compelling viewers through curiosity to want to see more of the movie as they are charmed by the singers modesty and want to know what her next step is going to be.
The very first shot is a two shot of both characters at firs appearing to just be sitting there but then the first thing heard is NEXT from another location, a voice not in the shot and its clear that they are actually sittin there in anxiety as Bobbie the main character is awaiting her turn.
The character I play at one point lliterally gives her a hand pulling her up persuading her that she can do it, this was a metaphor for being there for her and literally keeping her up , and the tracking that follows this happends in a somewhat dark way another metaphor for the journey she has been on and will be continuing, when Bobbie reaches the doors to the audition room the lighting is significantly lighter as she is a step closer to getting what she wants.
When she goes through the door the sound of it closing is exagerated to give the illusion of her fate being sealed in a way as hat happends next can change her life. There is an over the shoulder shot when the judge doubts her ability qestioning wether she can pull off the song she named.
The room apart from the pair is isolated dispite the bright clours it has a sense of negative energy as she is alone her friend no longer there and the man there seems to be against her, the long shot/ two shot when she is just about to sing emphasises the fac that he is not on her side as it shows a big gap between them. The sound of her voice when singing is noticable contrasting the sound when she was talking to her friend outside, her nerves are appearant and so is her discomfort.
The judge is snappy and barely lets her do the line, a side shot and zoom in when the handshake occurs shows more negative energy and makes it clear that dispite the seemingly friendly gesture the judge is in no way pleasant. He says the words 'm sure any aspiring singer would dread to hear 'don't call us we'll call you' at this point there is an effect used to show that his saying that and ending her auition so abruptly has affected Bobbie and in a sense shaked her world.
