1. C3: Working with Others
Firstly my product (shop canopy) tied in with the entire feel of the set which was run down and tired
looking.
For example the taxi rank’s sign was sanded down to make it look older and less pristine, therefore
we used mud and tea to stain the fabric of canopy. Another part of our set (The Stop ‘n’ Shop) that
needed to work together was the colour
scheme of the shop in relation to the
canopy. We selected a fabric which
contained the colours green blue yellow
and red; as a result of this the rest of the
set consisted of these colours. For example
the sign was blue and green letters on a
yellow background, the counter was blue
and the interior walls of the shop were
green. When purchasing the paints we
choose slightly faded matte colours as
appose to a high gloss bright finish. We did
this to tie the shop in with the dated feel of
the set as the context of the play means we
know it is in a rundown area. When we
2. were stocking our shop with products it was important to use products that tied in with the
geographical and social context of the play, as well as items mentioned and used in the script. For
example there are references to Pepsi in the script so therefore we stocked out shop with Pepsi cans
that we recycled.
