As my job on set gets closer, I am reviewing what is expected of me and helpful things I should know about the film. This week, I reread the film treatment and went over the prop list that was sent to me while in communication with the director, Felicity, and the Head of Set design, Roisin. I’ll attach the treatment for crew below:
While most of the aesthetic information in the treatment I discussed in my previous blog post, the treatment also defines what my job entails on set. This includes building a bedroom set in the ECA TV studio, and then resetting it into another bedroom set. Darcy’s room is cluttered with many things- photos, art, film negatives, etc.- but the main facet is the large clock on her wall. June’s room is less cluttered, but there is still artwork and many mirrors.
Roisin has informed me and Jalila (who is also a set design assistant) that building the set is from the 18th-24th of March, and that filming is from the 25th of March-1st of April, in which takedown of the set is the 1st of April. I am expected to be on set for all the building days, and most likely will be on set for most of the shooting days to reset the rooms as well as do additional work on the set if it carries over from the week of the 18th-24th.
I have been communicating with Jalila about the prop list and what we should be looking for, and we have planned to go charity shopping for items next week.
