03:14...
03:16They stay on all day.
03:18Do they stay on all day?
03:19So it's a lot of steampunk aspects and yeah, this is the final design.
03:26Did you have a hand in the design at all?
03:28Yeah, me and Lola worked on it together so we went through the initial designs,
03:32both working on initial designs then coming together to create a developed design
03:37and then we made a final design.
03:39You've got 80 slides where you're researching different looks, you're looking at inspirations.
03:43How did you decide that it needed a hood? How did you get to that point where it's like,
03:46well, actually we're missing a bit here.
03:47We went through different, because it was punk, we went through a bunch of stuff
03:52and then we decided that with the initial designs, we carried that on to the final design.
03:58So they'll be graded on this and on this, past marital distinction,
04:02and then they're about to go into their final project,
04:04which is an independent project that you're encouraged to crew up and work with a group of people.
04:09So on top of all this, you've got to come up with another.
04:11You've got your final major project going on in the background as well.
04:13Can you tell me a bit about what you're working on at the moment?
04:15We've just been giving our briefs.
04:18There's commotion because there's water here.
04:21Imagine there's water.
04:22I've seen it on the…
04:23It's all water.
04:24Yeah, and the submarine's coming up and we're actually getting more and more curious
04:29about what's going on and this is just a great way to see how the citizens and civilians
04:34are reacting to this.
04:35There's something coming.
04:36They want to see what's coming and it's exciting.
04:39Are you producing or directing?
04:41No, so I'm on…
04:46Scene six, shot one, take one.
04:49Camera's set.
04:51Set.
04:52When you're ready, Phoebe.
04:55Action.
05:01So, what's it like working with them?
05:05That's not exactly paradise, is it?
05:08What did you say?
05:09What have we got there?
05:11Hold this roof, you.
05:13I'm conscious you're still driving.
05:14Come on, I want to get this done.
05:15And Brandon over here is the director of photography.
05:17Used to be.
05:18Yep.
05:19So, he works on the cinematography, works on the lighting, so Phoebe gets to have a
05:23vision and she gets to…
05:26But do you hope to be a director in the future?
05:28Is that what you're doing as well?
05:29Yeah.
05:30And you'll be in cameras because you hope to be in cameras?
05:31Yeah, somewhere in that region, yeah.
05:32I've developed a big collaboration like this, is that you get a feel for a proper
05:36experience or what it would be like on the set.
05:42That's alright.
05:43Full of roof.
05:45But you're going to be doing her job now.
05:46Yeah.
05:47You're taking over.
05:48So, Jade, if you'll come off.
05:50Sorry, I'm going to show why you are doing this and not me.
05:53Yeah, Brandon, good, clear instructions.
05:55Yeah.
05:56Just very simple.
05:58You can tilt the camera with the handle here.
06:00Yep.
06:01The zoom's been set, but he'll adjust if he can.
06:03It's just at the front there.
06:05Is it that one?
06:06We're following Steph at the end there, so…
06:08Steph, okay, perfect.
06:10Whenever you're ready.
06:12When you say following her, am I keeping both of them in the shot or just on her?
06:15Mainly her.
06:17I guess we wouldn't want the diffuse…
06:19Yeah, of course, you don't want…
06:20Something like that.
06:21But she will stop halfway through, so maybe just pause on her for a minute.
06:24Yeah, okay.
06:26And I'll press record.
06:27Perfect.
06:28Good idea.
06:29Brandon, are we ready for the take?
06:30Yeah, we're ready.
06:31Stevie, are we ready?
06:32Yeah, ready.
06:33Okay, quiet on set, please.
06:34We're ready for a take.
06:37Lock it off, lock it off, please.
06:40Run us out.
06:42Roll camera.
06:44Camera.
06:46Camera rolling.
06:47Mark it.
06:52Scene six, shot one, take two.
06:56Camera's set.
06:58Set.
07:00Roll camera.
07:03Action.
07:17Suspicious.
07:18What do you mean suspicious?
07:19Suspicious.
07:30Okay, we're going to go for a group meeting.
07:32If we all understand…
07:33And how do you enjoy it all doing?
07:34Is it all going well?
07:35Yeah.
07:36Okay, everybody, can you get in at the back?
07:40That's it.
07:42Group shot.
07:44Okay, if you can move in a touch at the sides, that would be great.
07:47Thank you very much.
07:51If you can see my lens, I can see you.
07:53That's great.
07:54Sorry, I'm quite cool.
07:56Okay.
07:58That's lovely.
07:59Okay, squeeze in as much as we can at the sides.
08:05Lovely and looking great.
08:06And do I get to say that's a wrap?
