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.
