Talking to the Set Designer

In our lesson our group spoke to a set designer (Jacqueline) and light designer (Jack). When we spoke to our set desginer our group was still undecided whether or not we would have a set. We spoke to the set designer Jacqueline about our set (which is the in the set below). We had talked about having a very urban look towards, as we wanted to have an illegal look towards the music video in the set. The set looks like a grundy basement with pipes at the background. Jacqueline said this set was very doable but she was wondering if it better to have a green screen in a background however we concluded we would prefer an actual set as our lighting would be dark (which would make it harder for the green screen to work).  Another group has a similar set design to our set therefore Jacquline as looked if it would be better if we shared sets? Luke didn't recommended this as he said its very easy to tell that they were the same set therefore we didn't go for the sharing sets.

When we spoke to jack about having police spotlights over the band he said this could be easily done. As there are other group planning on using powerful lights for similar use. First our group initially thought we would use a police alarm but Jack said it would not be powerful enough to power to give the effect we would have wanted. 

One of the questions I asked was how would we power lighting on our location and Jack said our school has 2 daylight lights which would be powerful enough for filming in the carpark. Especially as our group would be filming on the second highest floor on the carpark therefore it would have lighting inbuilt.
