Filming - Day 1

We did our first day of filming on the 24th, January. We chose the time of day to be the evening as parties are usually set at this time of day. Before all of our actors arrived, we filmed shots of setting up the party such as pouring alcohol into shot glasses, putting white powder into lines to look like drugs and splattering UV paint onto bedsheets to contrast with the UV lights.

We also had a lot of lights which we used; 3 UV lights, a laser dance light and a large strobe. These worked really well with the camera and added to the effect of the rave scene.

We used a lot of bottles and shot glasses to make it seem more realistic.

Altogether we got over 2 hours of filming done.

When the actors arrived, we filmed many mid shots of them dancing and having a good time. We also filmed people taking shots and smoking shisha pens.
