A meeting with the set designer

Yesterday, we had a meeting with Jacqueline, who is a professional set designer from South London and Jack who is a professional lighting designer from North London. 

To allow them to understand what we wanted we showed them our prop and lighting list, which includes imagery to find out how much of our idea would actually be able to be made possible. It was important to give them visuals of our idea because the colour and design is very important as it needs to correspond well with the 'girly' pop video conventions. From the meeting we also found out what props the school would need to get and what we would need to get because some of the props like 'the makeshift flowers' can easily be bought from amazon by us but the throne is more difficult to obtain so this is when the school would take control of this prop. So as stated my group would need to purchase the paper pom pom lanterns, which we are planning on buying from Amazon and a Tiara or crown, which we could possibly get off of 'rock and rose' or even off of amazon if we were looking for something cheaper. We also need to find an old and wrecked brown armchair, which the school might already have because of one of the teachers or another way of getting this time is getting it from 'Free Cycle'. However tis may be difficult, as we would need to find a method of picking it up and transporting it into school as it is in a different location known as 'Caterham' at the moment. Finally, my group and the school need to find somewhere to buy or hire a throne chair from because a prop like this can be very expensive and is usually only to hire per hour of usage but there might be a possibility that the school may use their connections with prop houses or go into vintage furniture stores to see what is our best option.
There are some changes that have been made from undergoing this process as we have decided to change our floor from swirly wallpaper to pale pink or white as we think the wallpaper may look too much and take away attention from the flowered wall from an audience perspective. So the set designer told us to pick a plain colour but she said white didn't look great on camera, so we therefore decided on Off White or Pale Pink floor.
