Arden Shoot 1
'Breadwinner'

This image shows the set in the teaching studio once we had hoovered, moved props in and out and made the sofa look presentable. This is before props were added.

A week before the shoot the art department crew came together and decided on what props were essential after doing a script read through. I wrote these down whilst we discussed.

The production designer and I went to the props room with our list in mind to gather a group of props that we could then show the director.

After searching the prop room, we created a box full of our props to leave by the set and come back to on prep day. 

Once receiving the script i did my own script breakdown thing about my role in the art department.

After doing my script breakdown I created another list of props and separated them into essential props and ones used for the aesthetic.

I spoke with the Director and asked what they wanted from the art department and if there were any specific props or directions we needed. I wrote down what he said.

These props were created by one of our production designers. They were then sent to me to be printed out and cut out.

We needed to place pictures and frames onto the set walls however we had to ensure the walls were not damaged in anyway. We used blue-tac and command strips to overcome this issue.

The production designer and I then started to decorate the set with the props we had gathered.

This image shows where the wall slat started to fall down. This was after I had climbed the ladder pictured and used the duct-tape shown to fixate the two slats back together.

I captured this image for continuity purposes as I had to remember where the coffee table was positioned as it had to be moved to make room for the tri-pod. 

This picture was taken by me for continuity purposes to know where to place the props again once they had been moved by the actors. As I was in charge of putting the props back in place.

Here is the final dressed set that we had produced ready for shooting.

Whilst on set I also had the role of transporting the audio and video SD cards to the DIT/Editor. This image shows when I was delivering the SD cards and then taking them back down once footage had been uploaded.

This picture shows me on set making some tweaks to the set before we started filming.
