Evaluation question 1: Did you enjoy the main workshop shoot day? What role(s) did you take? What were your best bits and why?

I loved taking part in the music video remake and it was very educational as well as fun. We worked alongside professional crew who taught us about various skills including using the lighting desk and directing.

Marking the hip hop scenes

The roles that I took on throughout the day:

• Slating the hip hop shots with the clapper board
• Acting as Taylor for the ballet/swan lake scenes
• Dancing in the street, cheerleading and ribbon dancing scene

I particularly enjoyed getting my hair and makeup done by professional makeup artists. I would say that my favourite part was performing in front of the camera with the crew shouting the lyrics to Shake It Off.

This is a time-lapse of the Seward Studio during our 11 hour shoot. Here, you can see the set, the different lighting setups and the crew working on set.
