In this film, I was in a team of two and was working on a small budget of £20. We created props and graphics and were able to find a lot of set dressing pieces for free at the local tip and Facebook Marketplace. The biggest part of this project was preparing the squat set, which involved revamping an old set of flats used for a previous uni student film and setting them up in the university TV studio. I also created a white card model of the squat set as part of the planning for this film.

Graphics for café scene
Using Photoshop, I created a menu graphic to be put on the tables at the café as extra table dressing, and with off cuts of wood, we made stands for the menus by sawing a groove down the middle of the wood.
