Past few weeks have been extremely busy due to the amount of work needed to be done for my dissertation as it came to a halt.

We had a pretty decent shoot in the studio last Friday and filmed all of Susan’s rooms however we came across some errors during the edit which we need to pick up on for when we film Linda’s room to make sure we don’t end up with similar errors which we had in Susan’s bedroom. We also have a few props which we need to collect, however they are small props which make it easy to find within our group

Helping our super group was quite fun as we get too see how other groups are working together and there’s a lot less stress when it’s not for your own project however it fun to work on something totally different to ours.

Having a hard time finding a good enough printer/size for the Queens Head poster to be printed out onto, and is still being finalized at this minute.

Week 2 Summary

We had a productive studio session on Tuesday also, where we had colour co-ordinated tape markings of the sets where we had made big progress with our set plans and came to a decision which everyone is comfortable with. A lot of progression with the union jack scene with the tests for the lighting, also practise of moving the flats where the green screen fits in, and also! a good amount of practise with the hydraulic bed.

Singers wanted poster was created in an old fashioned 1970’s sex pistols style flyer, which is now going under more development and is now going to be cut up and stuck together to give it a homemade effect.

Another productive day, where Amy and I had stripped the wallpaper off the flats and used up all the paint we had left from last term and gave them undercoats although there is still a lot of preparation which needs to be done for the bedroom sets including buying more posters and also start buying paint and borders ready for Week 3 Wednesday after we have filmed to start on the new set.
