The Set

Today, we begun creating the set. We had all discussed exactly what we had to create it just was now getting on with it.

We had to make the waves, as the rest of the set were things we were able to bring in or buy. We bought some large pieces of chipboard, and spent the afternoon, with the help of some of our friends, cutting out the shape of the waves with an electric saw. With paints used from the schools art department we got on with painting them. The waves were quite large, they were around ten metres in length and about one metre high, and we made three of them, as they had to fit the studio. We wanted the set look theatrical, but also have an artistic creative spin on it to reinforce the bands creative flare. Between about six of us in all, we painted all three of the waves and got them looking exactly how we liked.

Also, we had to re-paint the platforms for the bicycles. Luckily, our school had things of the sort that we were able to adapt and use for our music video. So, we ended up finishing off the day by re-painting the existing platforms and getting them prepared for our shoot day.
