Setting Up For Our Shoot

The day before the shoot, we went to the filming studio as soon as the previous group had finished filming, in order to set up for our first element. We were under the impression that we were filming our elements in reverse as our third element was the most complicated. However, after going over how the day was going to pan out, the set designers decided that we should try and film our first and second elements first before lunch and then do the third set up after lunch. Therefore, we set up for the first element that involved the backlights with the plain black curtains behind. When we first saw the lights with some of the haze there was a definite sense of excitement that lit up between us.

As we’d made this slight alteration to our schedule in terms of the set, I then went and found our performers to inform them as to what costume they would be wearing first. For Yasmin, our artist, it was especially important as the third element required different makeup to the other two, therefore, there could have been a problem if I hadn’t let her know in advance.
