These polaroids are from the set for the darkroom scene. We used the corner of a black drama studio. We gathered appropriate props such as:
- a well used table,
- lamp with red gel to imitate a safety light,
- processing trays,
- a bin,
- a line and pegs as well as photos we developed to hang up,
- some negatives and a mirror to give us some artistic leverage. I'm very satisfied with our set and i've reclaimed a sink from a salvage yard to add to the realism of our mise-en-scene. We told max (the man in the photo) to wear a white t-shirt so that the projection of our love interest would show up on him. We also used the lights available in the studio and dimmed them to create a moody atmosphere. Even though this removed continuity, it doesn't seem out of place and it's very likely he would wear something different for the dark room. It's also worth the aesthetic enhancement as well as a strengthening of narrative.
