During the filming we took our time to try different camera shots and angles as well as camera movements to see what looks best. We wanted to make sure not to use the same angles and shots all over again and to vary between them to make it look less boring. We found that using a mid-shot for the general filming was best as that kind of shot doesn't focus on details and the viewer has the opportunity of seeing things like the setting much clearer. Besides, we also used close-ups when necessary: When Andre and Nora bump into each other and she drops the diary, we used a close-up shot to show how it falls on the floor to make sure the viewer focusses on the diary as it is the main thing in the film. We did the same with the lip print on the mirror at the very end of our film opening and we zoomed it in to bring the viewer closer to the story and what happens in it.
We then decided to pick a German song for the background music. We thought that it would fit quite well since the film deals with a German girl and is told from her point of view. The song is pretty popular in Germany, especially with teenagers which is another reason why we chose the song as our film's target audience are teenagers.
We also made sure to edit the different scenes to the rhythm of the music, especially at the end of the film where Andre walks out of the school and it seems as if he walks to the rhythm of the music: that's how we tried to connect the song with the film.
