1. Did you enjoy the workshop day? What were your best bits and why?
The workshop day completely lived up to my expectations; it was so much fun, and what's better than singing and dancing along with some of your best friends? Being one of the band members - which was a delightful surprise as I thought the band members had to be male - was really great, and allowed me to act and have fun with the role. My favourite part of being in the band was when we were on stage, behind the curtains. We were all standing there behind the curtains getting ready for our performance, so we didn't even prepare for the other performances by the other members of our year. When the curtains drew open and we started singing the first few lines, I didn't realise that the rest of our year were going to get up and dance along too (all previous takes were just of the band). It felt amazing seeing that they were dancing and throwing their papers in the air just like the video: it was just as we had pictured it to be!
Another favourite part of the day was just looking at the cameras and the setting in the great hall - it was almost perfect. I loved seeing how our hall had been transformed into the 5ive hall, with the pulsing lights hanging on the stage. The cameras used were also incredible, so seeing how the footage looked on the monitors was not only an amazing but gratifying experience; especially when it made you look flawless and airbrushed! Even the still photography cameras we used behind the scenes were incredible, and it was a great experience to be allowed to use those too. I loved taking action shots of my classmates breakdancing and freestyling; not only because it looked like they were having such a fun time, but because I could also capture that enjoyment in beautiful high definition!
