Practice Shots!!

Here is a video compilation of the practice shots we did during school.

Risk Assessment!!

Below you will find a Risk Assessment completed by Griff (James)!

Costume!!

The costume for the scenes my group are filming is easy to recreate. 

Younger Jessie just wears a dark baseball jacket and a Backpack, each of which will be supplied by Faith and Ellie respectively.

Props!!

We need quite a few props for our filming. Below is a list of props we need with pictures.

Balloons: 
These will be stuck on sticks and used as the solar system that Jessie knocks over whilst she is in a rage.

Home Made Film Camera: 
This will be made by us using a cereal box, it is used during the school hall section of the video.

Actors!!

My group and I will all be taking part as the actors in the video. 

Myself, Joe and Toby will be playing the role of the people in the corridor.

Faith, our team leader will play the duel role of the lady in the lunch room and one of the girls that laugh at the younger Jessie.

Ellie will be playing the part of the cleaner when Jessie is in the school hall.

And the main role of Jessie has gone to Laura, as she has the most acting experience in the group.

The song lyrics!!

Below are the lyrics to the song 'Who's Laughing Now' by Jessie J. 

                                                              "Who's Laughing Now"

Mummy they called me names
They wouldn't let me play
I'd run home, sit and cry almost everyday
"Hey Jessica, you look like an alien
With green skin you don't fit in this playpen"
Oh they pulled my hair
They took away my chair
I'd keep it in and pretend that I didn't care
"Hey Jessica, you're so funny
You've got teeth just like Bugs Bunny"

Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you dragged my spirit down?
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising

Yeah Yeah

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now

Cause I'm in L.A
You think I've made my fame
FB makes us friends
When you only really know my name
"Oh Jessie, we knew you could make it
I've got a track and I'd love you to take it"
So now because I'm signed
You think my pockets lined
4 years now and I'm still waiting in the line
'Oh Jessie, I saw you on YouTube
I tagged old photos from when we was at school'

Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you dragged my spirit down?
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising

Yeah Yeah

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now

Jessie
She broke out of the box
Swallowed your pride
You got that ego cough
Let the haters hate
You're like way too late
Click click to see I got a message from you
"Hola, I'm proud of you"
"Oh my God babe your voice is like wow! "
My reply: Who's laughing now?

Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you drag my spirit down?
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising
Yeah

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now

(Hey, hey. Who's laughing?)
But who's laughing now

(Who's laughing?)
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now

Who's laughing, laughing now?

Who's laughing, laughing now?
Who's laughing, laughing now?
Who's laughing, laughing now?

Who's laughing, laughing now?
Who's laughing, laughing now?

Who's laughing, laughing now?
