There has been a large delay in the construction of our park setting as during rolling out the plasticine to coat the scene, we found that a whole block of plasticine would only roll out to a very small area and that layer would be too thin. So due to this Hannah and myself have been looking at ways to coat the setting and still give it a reasonably professional look. We looked at clay, cloth and other kinds of patchwork fabric ideas all of which would have been too time consuming to fit into our deadline. This left us believing that we would just have to paint the hill and hope it looked alright when filming. However in the last hope I was looking around the local stationary store to find new solutions and found a new idea, this would involve coating the entire hill with green felt. After purchasing the felt and applying it at home I realised that the felt left seams or overlaps on show as we were only able to obtain A4 sheets of green felt.
Although the felt did provide us with the required shape and texture we needed to try and disguise the overlapping sheets so I decided to use model grass on top of the already textured felt to disguise it. I have only used one layer of ti so far on one side to test out how the glue will let it set but it will be completed soon.
We has left an are cut out for the pathway and seating area and to fill this used model gravel which after pouring onto glue and coating with a spray on diluted PVA glue set perfectly.
As you can see from the pictures below the pathway gets wider as it gets lower showing a distorted realiity in this world we are creating.
Here is the setting from the left side showing
the first layer of grass and the gravel pathway
Here is a closer view of the pathway
This is the angle that this scene is likely to be shot at
