Putting the set together

We all met in the workstation in order to start putting the set together for our film. The whole group has been told what the set should look like and in the first week we simply cleaned up the boards to be pained by ripping off the wallpaper and then putting it into position. We put the walls into position and then got out the red paint that we had decided on for the walls, we used a roller to paint the walls and to cover up the gaps between the boards we used masking tape, which was a difficult job in the corner parts of the wall. By the end of the day we had painted walls, the shape of the room we wanted and wallpaper on the wall as well. The day of making the set did feel like it was quite detracted from making a film but on the other hand it felt very practical and creative in a way which was quite nice. Literally building the set for the film means you can make it look exactly how you want (if the budget allows) and leaves a sense of satisfaction when it is done.
