Evaluation Q1: Did you enjoy the main workshop shoot day? What role(s) did you take? What were your best bits and why?

A time lapse of how the studio setup changed during the shoot day

I really enjoyed the main workshop shoot day for a number of reasons:

-The day itself was very enjoyable, and I was kept busy & occupied throughout the day - including operating the clapperboard, gaining advice from the crew & being a runner when not needed on set.

-I enjoyed the opportunity to act as a backing dancer and play numerous roles.

-During the day, it was a valuable chance to gain good advice and potentially network with industry professionals, from director Dom and ADs Chris & Amy, to cameraman Ed, costume director Olivia and makeup artists Natalie & Kenzie.

-I found it was useful to observe the setup and roles of the people involved, as we will need to replicate this for our own projects next term.

-My roles:
My roles included playing 4 backing dancers in the hip hop, band, cheerleading & end dance setups - my main role was as the 'main cheerleader dancer'.

I also did some running work when not needed on set.

My best bits:

I feel my best bits included:

-Taking advice and information from industry professionals such as the lighting setup and the breakdown of the camera.

-'Playing' the saxophone in the band setup.

-Performing the cheerleading routine: especially as we had put so much hard work into learning the routine over the previous 2 weeks, and as this was my main role.
