Monday 25th November 2013 Today we started our paint calls, we got put into groups to paint the base coat of certain pieces of the set. The way we painted the set was putting one group on a building they didn't design and paint. So the way the whole team was split was by putting Me, Sam and Dan into a group to paint the base coat of the airship, whilst Keeley, Michael and Phil painted the base coat of Dan's and Sam's buildings on stage rights side. Once my group had finished the base coat of the airship we started putting colour onto it. The first colour we put onto the airship was the red/ brown colour, we had to paint the outside as well as inside, making sure we left certain bits so they could be painted in another colour! The paintbrush I used to paint the red/ brown colour was a paintbrush called an edging brush which helps painting the edges because the bristles are diagonal! The reason they are like that is so when you are going along the edge the paintbrush leaves a nice finish to the painted area! Once we done that Alan showed me how to do a wood grain affect on certain areas of the airship ! To make the wood grain affect Alan told me to get a old brush with the bristles all jagged, to get the brown paint I need to use, make sure there was enough paint on the paint brush then drag it across the area that needed to be painted, making sure you aren't pressing too hard. By doing this it made the wood look like it was old wood with the lines in it. Tuesday 26th & Wednesday 27th November 2013 On Tuesday and wWednesday we started at 6pm to be able to paint the set without actors on it. On both of these day we focused on painting the buildings in both sides making sure they had the grey base coat then the correct colours that we design for them. We made sure the big areas on all of the buildings before painting all the details on them. At the end of the these two days we had all the buildings painted in their right colour and we even started painting some details but not a lot! Thursday 28th November 2013 OVER-NIGHT PAINT CALL Thursday was our over night paint call, where we had to work all night to get the set completely painted! We got put into teams there were a few people working on the small details on the airship, other people worked on the small details on all the buildings whilst me and Keeley started marking out the floor design on the floor we done the middle cog and the cogs around it the scale then after that we had a few marks in the string so used that to add the rest of the cogs changing their size from small to big! Once we done that Michael and Phil got put together to paint the trucks whilst me, Dan, Keeley and Sam started painting the floor at first me and Dan worked on one painting techniques which was dark red as a base then add yellow to lighten it up, whilst Keeley and Sam worked on mixing the different yellows and oranges and red. After we had painted a few cogs with those techniques we had to fill the gaps in with black paint. So Dan, Sam and Alan carried on with the techniques on the cobbles and cogs, and me and Keeley started on the black filling. We managed to get all of it done by the morning which we were really pleased with. I think we worked extremely well as a team and got everything done in no time at all!
