Open Day - At Greenwich University

Promoting our transmedia project as well as the course, I managed to cut out the sugar paper and added icing sugar to the homemade cookies. I also had the chance to speak with students and parents who are interested in the university and studying a media course. I was able to show them the  equipment which we use and they will be using if they choose our course.

Hair & Make Up - Filming Day 3

Here I am doing Jassie hair who plays the Mum (Zara Tanner) as I done it one the first day and we wanted it to be the same due to continuity. But here what I have done is gave her a smaller roller at the front of her head showing that it is another day where she just goes off to work.

Hair & Make Up - Filming Day 3

In these images I am hands on doing one of our actress make up, with this actress I am making her look young and by this I am making her cheeky blush pink and adding glitter. I decided to have a go at doing the children make up for this scene as I didn't do it on the first day of filming, so it was only fair that we took turns in doing hair and make up for each character. 

Filming Day 2

Throughout the second day of filming, I took the chance to gain more experience as well as helping out my other group member with equipment. Here we are filming the news reports which will be part of our story, each of us took turn of being on camera and using the equipment. Learning how to focus on the object on screen actuarially  and get the perfect framing, plus picking up just the sound needed and not making it fuzzy or loud, as this will effect our project when it comes to editing and putting it all together.

Set Design - Filming Day 1

Scene where the mum and son have been taken to a refugee camp. Here Selin and myself built a small cosy tent with some of the our groups help. We added blankets in to make it look low cost and scary for the actor and actress.

Scene where the CEO admits whats on the chip. Not much had to be set up here, but for a location I managed to get a free room within the university and then using the desk already in the room as 'Maxwells' office showing the west corp logo on the computer so that it gives it a professorial look.

Hair & Make Up - Day 1

Here you can see me in action doing the actors make up and hair, getting on with my role as set design. Each of actor/actress has certain make up for each scene which we plan to film today, we had our mood-boards with us to help us remember exactly what style or colours we wanted. Having this role I had to be around as of running onto set a few times, to either add make up to stop shine through the camera and also dirt as part of the scene.

List of props

As filming is coming to the approach, I decided to go over with Selin then the group to make sure that I had all the right props written down. This then helped me as I was able to mark off what we had all ready and what we then needed to buy over the weekend.

Budget List - Rough Copy

Future budget listing will be updated with Selin as she has created a Excel spread sheet from my calculations. Due to me gathering receipts and having the role of set designer meaning buying stuff such as make up, props, food and etc, I then knew how much was being spent and what each person had to contribute making it fair.

Concept Art- Props / Location

There I have sketched out a suitcase and luggage bag, part of the scene where the family are at the boarder line with their belonging. On the other side I have sketched out one of our locations which is the living room in the family home. This is just a idea of what it may look like as I looked on google and also at other living rooms with I have scene (mine, families and friends).

Concept Art- Props

I have also managed to sketch out a gun, bat and bullet which might be used in the graphic book at the crossing scene where the family cross over the bridge / boarder to the East, Or it could be on Adam Tanner during his 5 day struggle.

Concept Art- Props

I have managed to draw some props and items which the dad (Adam Tanner) might be carrying on his 5 day struggle or they could even be used in other scenes of the graphic book. 

Sugar Paper Invoice

As we are planning on using one of the studios in university on open day to promote our course and also get out transmedia storytelling project promoted. I came up with the idea of having our logo on either cupcakes or cookies so I looked into buying sugar paper with would be ideal to put on either of them. I found This website eatmyface.co.uk with sells sugar edible paper for 90 small circular ones it was £4.50, and I emailed them the logo and they delivered in 2 days. I found that this would be a prefect and creative way of getting people involved with our project.
