On Monday 16th January, the set team were tasked with having all of the sets planned by the end of the week, even in a draft version, just as long as each one had been thought about. Because we were shooting Linda’s bedroom first, myself, Jack and Shiv got together to make a model of it using Sims 3 (see Jack’s post for pictures).
- 3D drawing of sets
- Go to Market and inquire about crates and boxes.
- Check that the sofa in the foyer of the studio is still available to use.
- Collect Bricks.
- Posters of ABBA and other 70s music.
- disco ball prices.
- Ask for studio time for the set team alone to get a perspective on sizing etc. (ask for volunteers to help)
- Research television sets from the era.
- Wallpapers.
- get garage measurements
- make and/or obtain an ashtrays.
- cigarette butts.
- Streetcones (??)
- Collect bricks.
- research and/or collect punk posters.
Our aim for this set is to give the cameras as much room as possible to get the shots needed. Also, we can swap flats around when shots are needed from different angles. We would start by planning out the room before deciding where we would have flats and where we would not.
I realize that these are quite rudimentary and, dare I say it, amateur, But these are extremely early drafts that I intend to extend on in both computer programs (like Sims 3) and on paper.
- Get as many props for the bedroom as possible.
- Finish drawings + plans.
- Complete “to-do” list.
- Have flats for bedroom finished by Friday 27th January. (optimistic! But it can be done!)
