Pre-Production: Update on Key


We realised when sorting out the keys, that al the keys were a bronze, ancient gold colour expect the padlock correct key. Therefore, we needed to paint the key gold to fit within the other keys so the real rustic silver original key doesn’t stand out; otherwise this would defeat the point of our opening sequence.

Firstly, we went to the art department however they didn’t have any spray paints available due to health and safety. Therefore, we tried to paint the key with normal gold paint but this did not work, so we quickly had to remove the paint by running it under cold water. We then alternatively went to the drama department and luckily Al, another set designer had the correct gold spray paint, which is what we were exactly looking for. Al suggested attaching the key to some metal wire, so we didn’t have to touch the key when it was drying. We simply sprayed the key with gold basic spray paint as a base and then when that was dry we layered it with some metallic gold spray paint to make it fit in better with the other keys and look more accurate. We did this twice to achieve the best results and let it dry.
