At the beginning of our filming we decided that we would pick people at random to be in our film. We tried this and we were successful in getting characters to be in our opening sequence. Our first opening shot was in the college library. A group of girls were positioned around a table discussing the Winter Ball. We tried using the people that we had picked at random but it didn't go to plan. They didn't do exactly what we wanted them to do. We then decided that our best option was to use three girls from our own group as they were the best people to use because they knew exactly what we wanted. We chose to use Lauren, Sarah and Aggie to play the roles of the three girls discussing the Ball. Then we realised that we needed one more person to be in the group so we picked one girl at random. This worked and we continued with our filming. 
I, Ella Stewart played the role of the camerawoman. I filmed all the shots and positioned all of the characters in the frame. I really enjoyed doing this but at the beginning I found it difficult as our first opening sequence proved hard. Our film opens with a shot of the Winter Ball poster which then zooms out onto the group of girls talking. This shot was tricky to do because i couldn't get the zoom on the camera smooth enough. With a lot of practise I was able to get a neat zoom.
