Recreation from 0:43 to 1:26

In this recreation of mean girls we used the same shots and camera angles as the ones used in the extract and copied the way the dress, talk, look and move for example when Regina grabs Cady's arm. We filmed in the cafeteria just like in the extract and used props like the lunch trays on the table and the foof as well as the black beaded  bracelet that Cady wears to make the recreation as similar as possible to the real extract. We filmed during the day using natural light just like they did in the extract. When editing I combined the camera shots just like how they were combined in the extract.
