Fashion Constructed Image Set-build Construction day 1.
Starting the day by bringing both Murray (set build assistant) and Jenna (guest build photographer) to uni. We checked out the carpet and props that had been delivered (care of Sacha) on Friday night. We soon set about positioning the carpet, finding the best flats and making the supports and slowly progressing through the task of building the whole set. The whole team was in early, starting with a pile of furniture, props and tools we worked as a team to produce the set. A work-space area was created for tools and equipment. We taped the outer edges of the carpet to reduce trip hazards, marked the floor to indicate safe area just inside the door of studio 1 for visitors.
The set itself is constructed with three flats on the right and one at the end to hang the door on, and two flats on the left. We'd constructed the window frame during the pre-lighting workshop, and set up the camera as soon as we were able to thus ensuring our image matched our expected output.After speaking to JS we decided to erect the goalpost support system for the 'space-light' just to see how the lighting might work. Obviously (from the pictures) the lite modifier is to long/low, but this will be adjust as we progress the project.We made supports where required and also braced the rear of the flats where needed. The tongue and grove lower wood panelling was applied with panel pins (and touched up with a dark oak finish on the top edge), and topped with a skirting board and dado rail, also affixed with 20mm panel pins. The rear of each pin was bent over and taped for safety. . A lot of care and attention was placed in trying to get a decent join between the panels before decor, with filler applied in the gaps the paper was then applied as soon as possible. A small flat was constructed to go over the door and architrave used to complete the effect prior to papering. Door handles and the hotel door room-numbers where affixed and furniture and props started to be placed where possible.. .
