In order to make our band seem authentic, we took Chris' advice to put our logo onto the front of the drum kit, as it is conventional of indie bands such as the 1975.
We also tested the make-up, with Juliette being our make-up artist.

My make-up was still done despite not having an individual shot, as I was in the background of both Audrey's and Chrystal's band shots, and in order to check that the make-up looked good on camera.
In the 90s scene, we had Jacob in the era-typical checked-shirt, jumper tied around his waist and jeans in order to characterise him as a 90s character. To connote the era, we also used Juliette's central perk mug and placed the boom-box beside the sofa.

During the shoot we used the large monitor so that we could all easily see the what was going on within the frame, and also so that we could ask Chris about whether lighting needed to be changed, and, if so, how we would go about changing it, as it was our first shoot.
Footage reflections:
After the shoot, Chrystal and Juliette tried to test the grading of the shots, changing skin tones to be more pink rather than yellow, and the background slightly greener. In order to make the colours in the sequence more vivid, they also increased the contrast and vibrancy of the shots.
Having watched the footage back, and gotten advice from Miss Blackborow, a list was compiled of all the things that needed to be done:
- The band performance needed more rehearsal, in order to create a more natural, less nervous performance.
- Lip-sync needed to be clearer
- The cup needs to be lifted higher and faster in order to show the logo and connote the era.
- The same actions need to be repeated in every shot, i.e. the head flick by Juliette, needed to be at the same point in the track each time.
- Chrystal needed to have red lipstick and straightened hair to improve the look on camera.
