Today we filmed the truth and dare part of the sleepover. Our main focus for the first half of the session was to capture a spinning technique that made the camera looked as if it was the bottle spinning around while playing truth or dare. We created this by placing the camera on a smooth surface, in our case a hardback book with a smooth surface allowing the camera to spin around easily and at a height where it was able to get a clear shot of our faces. Here is an similar idea to what we created and what technique we were trying to achieve; this was part of our research:
After filming several shots of the camera spinning around we moved on to the truth and dares. The initial idea for the first dare was for Jas to make a phone call to her crush who's name was Tom. However as our male actor was struggling to meet with our film schedule due to other commitments, we had adjusted the script so there was no male character and the opening only consisted of the four girls. Due to the script change we also had to remove the scene in which there was a flashback with Hope and Tom secretly meeting at school. This was the original script:
*Entering sleepover setting with cupcakes ,
singing in the background, everyone takes a cupcake and sit down at different
times whilst bringing a snack over , blurred idle chit chat, hope begins to
spin a bottle in the centre*
Summaya: We are not playing spin the bottle!
Hope: Why not?
*Summaya proceeds with a disapproving look
towards hope*
Hope: Fine, we’ll play truth or dare instead
*Hope goes to spin bottle Rav stops her*
Rav: Do we have to?
Hope: Yes it’ll be fun! Jas wants to play don't you?
Jas: Sure (hesitantly)
Hope: See! Now let’s go
*Rav lets go and hope spins bottle*
*multiple dares and truths go by- Eating
ketchup etc., ‘I used to like tom in yr9!’ etc., Jas spins bottle it lands on
hope*
Hope: Truth
Jas: ok… (She thinks) who do you like in school?
Hope: (hope looks shocked and flustered) that’s a stupid
truth do another one
Rav: No we had to answer ours now you answer yours.
*Flashes back to Hope with Jas’s crush*
Hope: (flirting dialogue)
*Flash back to sleepover*
Hope: Fine I don't like anyone in school; they're all
idiots, and your idiots for liking them.
Summaya: Just shut up and spin the bottle
*hope looks back with a glare and then spins
the bottle, it lands on Jas*
Hope: (Slurs words) Truth or dare.
Jas: Dare
Hope: Are you sure?
Jas :( long pause) Yeah, course.
Summaya: ok then, I dare you (hands her phone) to call
Tom over.
Jas: What! Why?
Summaya: oh come on we all know you like him
Rav: summaya that’s not fair
Hope: yeah summaya leave it
Summaya: Why? We all had to do our dares; (gestures to Jas)
now ring him
Rav: You don't have to
*Hope looks at Jas*
Jas: No, it’s ok ill call him (hesitantly grabs phone)
*Phone rings, phone answers*
Jas: (on phone) oh tom hi, its Jas…..
Tom :( on phone) oh hey what's up
*summaya looks at Jas again*
Jas: (on phone) ermm...nothing
Tom :( on phone) then why’d you call?
Jas :( on phone) oh ermm I’m just here with Summaya, ran

Tom :( on phone) wait hopes there? (Excited voice)
Jas: (on phone) yeah why? (Confused)
