Set Presentation

Phil & Matt's feedback:

Before we presented our ideas to our set builder, Phil and Matt spoke to us about our plan. Immediately they talked about how time-consuming all 3 sets would be to build, take down and re-light on the day (and we only have limited time to shoot everything in). This is because it is 9 flats to build each set and as we have 3 different sets this makes up 27 - also meaning it will be time-consuming to make. 

Comparing this to our prototype video we can easily cut the third set of the sofa rather than our initial idea of keeping the sofa and cutting the third colored room (inter-change it with the kitchen). This would just be a waste of time and it would be easier to just cut it. We also spoke about potentially shooting on location for the kitchen, however, with this we need to find the right place to film as the kitchen's in the boarding houses are, to be frank, ugly and don't match the vibe of the video. I feel as though we should present the Kitchen to Fran anyway to get feedback and then way up our options.

Presenting to our set builder (Fran):

Looking at our prototype video, Matt and Phil voiced how much they liked the look of our locations with the fish eye lens and the use of circles in all of them. Having 2 big sets on-location saves a lot of time when building, changing and re-lighting on the day. We will still be able to dress these sets with elements of our old set ideas such as: plants, vines, peach paraphernalia etc. We settled on having 2 flats (one white and on colored) that will make a corner for us to shoot things that cannot be shot on either location, these include blowing flour everywhere and opening the fridge and singing (as examples).

Our next steps are to look at the master shot list once again and re-organise the elements of each set and what we will need.

Set 1 - Performance space (the band room)

Set 2 - Kitchen space (dining hall)
