               On Tuesday, 23rd of November my group and I started filming at Lili’s house. At Lili’s house my group and I started filming the beginning of our video. But first we had to set up. Together in my group and I put the tripod stand up, closed all the curtains in the room, and made sure that the main character Angie changed. To begin with we had to change the camera settings after we set up. For a camera we used a iPhone. The settings on the video were 60fps and 4K recording.
