Filming ;

We stayed after school to film the yearbook pages being turned and the speaking part of our geek played by Luke. Me and Claire had previously tried different ways of setting up the camera and tripod so that you could see luke turning the pages without his head being in the shot , which was quite tricky. but we found and aerial shot with the tripod on a table directly behind the table the book was on and had Luke lean slightly back ( a slightly awakward positon) then the shot worked well.  When we planned our location shots we chose to film the book on an art room table, with lots of art related props surrounding it so that it is apparent to the viewers that he is making the yearbook and also to make the shots more interesting
Then we set up the camera and Luke acted out a few possible scenes that suited his character really well, We had to redo some shots because we were laughing and needed absolute silence in the shot when luke was talking. We also tried some low angle shots looking up at luke from infront but then decided it gave him too much authority so reshot with some high angle shots from the front. 
 This is just a picture that was taken while we were shooting the "Geek". We also felt that Luke's character should wear glasses, so that it stuck to our theme of stereotypes and made him appear like his character would.
