Meeting with Set Designers. Clarifications.

I have had a chat with the set designers and they have clarified me what they have thought of and what we have to get on our own. It is been essential to know from them that the search of only three sets of props concerns us (apart from the costumes). They showed me their drawings for our idea and their way of dealing with certain technical problems like the lack of space or the discomfort of shooting at such a low level. The square where the video takes place will be brought up thanks to some pillars. 

I have talked them through all my ideas and showed them my second draft of a new storyboard, with all the actions and props detailed. Probably, we will be able to shoot everything I had thought of, even the moment when one of the girls looks up through a pipe and sees the footsteps from the street level.

The only props we actually need to get (we were stressing out because of all the workload we pictured we would have choosing pipes, measuring and finding wooden piles and so) are board games for the house scenes, paint/pencils (easy, from the Art Department) and the cans we will use throughout the video. 

Lily has been searching for cans. Initially, they were going to be dog food to match the narrative of the video. We then thought it would not work because, later on in the narrative part, the four actors are gathering all the cans and eating their content, so obviously they could not eat dog food. The problem is that the aesthetics of dog food cans really worked, so we reached the conclusion that we could use them but fill them up with edible food. Lily chose a very gruesome pack: Rocco, Wet Dog Food.
