Assembly Shot

Our first difficulty that we faced was that everyone in the shot looked too happy. This was not what we wanted and we had to re-shoot - we played an emotional clip from YouTube before shooting this time, which resulted in a more depressed and emotional audience. 

However, when we shot for the second time, we did not have enough people in the audience and therefore the shot, again, did not work. So we had to plan again to re-shoot. For the last re-shoot, we used a real assembly from school in order to get enough people, we filmed around two minutes of footage and asked certain people to leave in the middle of the shot. The reduction of people gave the idea that the school attendance was getting lower and lower.
