Recce - location scouting, which location suits the scenario the best. How might they have to modify the location. Background actors- make the scene more realistic. How much is the location going to cost. Legal access to specific arrangements. Changing the colours and the layout of the building.
Exterior is a real location
Interior is on a set that is created.
Sets doesn't require a recce.
Set design- read the script to imagine and visualise the characters and building and decide what they'd look like, in some instances go and visit the area you are doing the project on. Start planning the design. Use reference photographs and sketches. Constant dialogue and decisions with the director.
Each set is used and created when needed, as well as designing and dressing other sets. Have a whole team, such as, artists and woodworkers.
Dressing- decorating the set.
Set dressing- buying the decorations and furniture, styling and filling the set/room.
Props and costumes- costumes are clothes and props are everything else. Buying costumes that fit the scene and the characters. Costumes can come from anywhere including junkyards and charity shops.
Some brands might lend props or costumes depending on if the brands want to be involved with the movie.
The Shoot-
Lasts 35 days. Costly for shooting on set. Shoots 2-3 minutes of footage a day. Working on daylight hours, searching for nightlight scenes can be difficult. Call time is where everyone is expected to be on set (Cast and Crew). Cast is in front of camera, Crew is behind the camera.
