Week 10 is filming week.
While Darcy’s room was in use filming, we worked on the exterior walls in the green room.
The exterior walls surrounding the window were supposed to be brick, so we had to made the large cardboard flats we had resemble brick as much as we could. To do this, we laid down masking tape in a brick pattern, and measured the distance between each “layer” of bricks so we could line up the different boards when we attached them together. Then, we took the cardboard outside and spray painted them with red and orange spray paint, and used sponges to add texture. After the spray paint dried, we removed the masking tape.
Next, we cut the boards to align with the top and bottom portion of the wooden board with the window, and cut 3 strips to border the two windows. After lining them up with the 2 other cardboard brick walls, we stapled the cardboard to the wooden board with the window.
Additionally, we reset the set into June’s room, and put up the exterior wall and window, as the shots captured were through a window as it is Darcy’s perspective seeing June. We held up the walls to June’s room as Roisin drilled them together, and set up the brick exterior by propping the walls up with wooden posts. To make June’s wall more cohesive, we also painted over masking tape to look like the wooden boards were connected.
Here is a view of the window shot, as well as the painting we did:
This spanned most of shooting week, and I also helped out as an extra with June’s party scene.
In the final week 11, I will be deconstructing the set and doing cleanup.
