We started off the day having a quick discussion with Anne and Rosie, before our production designer Lucy went off with Rosie to buy materials for the set build.  During this time the rest of the crew started on scraping the walls to get them smooth and Thomas (director) directed me to work with Julia to create a shoot schedule. This schedule was later re-done as advised by Thomas to group the shots rather than film in a linear way. Julia and I grouped them according to what lens was going to be used (first wide shot, then medium, finally close) and put the shots that required the set to be moved around last to ensure we don't waste time moving it back and forth. There is also a time slotted for pick up shots before the actor leaves. We also thought it would be best to begin early (9am) to make sure we aren't rushed and have enough time to set up the equipment and prepare to shoot.

Once the shoot schedule had been finalised, I helped out with scraping the walls. However since there wasn't enough scrapers I just used my hands (and a sponge to dampen the wall) to peel back the past wallpaper, as I thought every little helps. Eventually I got my hands on a scraper and continued the job with more ease. I found this to be a hard, taxing job on my arm but we did take brief breaks and swap over. 

Tom, Rob (cinematographer), Shahid and I (assistant directors) had a brief meeting with Simon to make sure everything was achievable within the shoot. Simon advised us to create a prevues of the film to get an idea of framing and shots to make it easier on the actual day.  

Once all the walls had been adequately stripped of previous wallpaper, we put a wall covering on one of the boards as a test, using wall paste. It wasn't perfect but we agreed that no wall is ever going to be 100% perfect anyway, especially for a gallery space.
