As planned we were all in the studio at 8:30. We had to make sure that all the props and instruments are on their right places. We set up the camera and connected the screen to it in order to be ready to shoot. We played the song constantly once the cast has arrived, so they feel more confident with it. Although we knew what costumes we wanted, the band had brought one of two options to choose from. Once we agreed on their costumes, make-up and hair was the next step. The three of us - Nina, Charlotte and me devided the tasks between us, for Laura we chose stronger make-up in order to portray the right star image - we wanted her to represent a tough girl, but still be feminine as well. For the boys just basic foundation was needed. Once the boys were ready, we thought it useful if they warm-up - pick up their instruments and play/sing to the track, so we could make sure that they will be synched with the playback as we were about to start shooting soon. Merlin had an internal assessment to go to in second period, therefore we were under time pressure to set everything, so we could take at least the wide shot and some close-ups of him. However, due to our organisation the day before, we were quicker and once the boys were ready, we were prepared to start. We also had to think about the green screen and that all the props are within the green frame because later we will have the scrap yard as a background.
Here I provided a link to Flickr with some photos including the preparation:
