Major Project Unit: Project Update

The set has gone in, we just dressed it today and put the bed and props in. Just a few more pieces to add. Luckily the rain held out, it just started as we were bringing the flats in. As we had to get them all painted in the morning, let them dry and bring them inside to assemble. We were very grateful that we had lots of helpers. 

We're also trying out different lighting set-ups to achieve the look we want. I've got mood boards to work from. I'm also getting comfortable using the camera with the jib and fig rig. 

We've also worked through the schedule for each day and gone over the shot list and what methods we'll be using to shoot. We want this to be a very raw, emotive piece; so we want to allow the actors to get into the moment without stopping them too much. So we'll probably try shooting scenes from the WS's, then moving in to get CU's. We're rehearsing all day Thursday with our actors so it'll be pretty much choreographed, so this should help with continuity. 

Call sheets and risk assessment forms have been sent to cast and crew, so we're all good to go!
