During our lesson today, we went to see how one of the other groups was getting on so that we had more of an understanding of the process we would go through. Here is a picture I took when the group were preparing their sets.
This helped us to understand that we needed to start early and build each set quickly so that we have more time to film.
We arrived in the studio earlier today in order to set everything up for tomorrow's shoot. At the same time we needed to make sure that our singer, dancers and DJ were all prepared with lyrics and routine learnt. Our make-up artist is due to arrive at 8.30 tomorrow morning. Our first thing to build was the DJ set. We started building at 5.30 and finished at around 6.45. Here are some images below:
The scaf block was put into the boom bases and held together with big metal grips to create the frame, it was then painted black. After, we placed the cut-out perspex onto the frame, drilled holes on either side of the grip and then used cable ties to secure the perspex to the frame.
We then placed 5 blinders behind the DJ block, set up multiple Pixellines beneath the scaf pole frame and put two Mac 700 profile lights on each side of the DJ block.
Originally we planned to use perspex as the front of the desk as well but our lighting director George told us that it would just shine through and wouldn't be very effective. Therefore, we glue-gunned a sheet to the front which was thin enough to allow light through and thick enough to hold some of the light behind the sheet. We needed two of these sheets to cover the perimeter of the decks which created a slit. The slit was very noticeable and taping the two ends together would have been too noticeable, so we cut another slit which was symmetrical to the first.
We took a step back to look at the set and we thought that there was something missing. Suggestions arose such as the potential of hanging our spare pieces of perspex in the air to reflect light but we all agreed that this would look too random and misplaced. Instead we placed the perspex on the floor and used it to reflect any excess light back up toward the DJ desk.
