Creating Our Number 2

When creating the number 2 me and Molly used two foam boards. Out of the 2 foam boards we were able to cut out 9 number twos, we then stuck them together using the sticky back of the foam board. Me and Molly took it in turns to cut out the number 2's due to it because difficult and it started to hurt our hands. We used foam boards because it was a bit heavier and would give a bigger effect when being dropped into the skittles.

Materials we used:

2 Foam Boards

1 Knife

1 Ruler

1 Backboard (so we wouldn't mark or scratch the table)

 After doing this we both had to file the number 2 down so that it was roughly the same size. To do this we went to '3D Design' and asked to use some sandpaper. After sanding it down we had paper mashe the number 2 but we run out of time to paper mache the back of it. This was so that it would fill in the other little gaps, and make it easier to paint.

Due to running out of time me and Molly came to college in out own time and paper mashed the back of the number 2. Then at college on Monday it was dried, so we deiced to paint it, we put 3 layers of paint on the number 2. After painting each layer we went into the toilets and used the hand dryer to dry it of so that we could then paint the next layer.

Materials used:

2 Sanding Blocks

2 Paint Brushes

Paint

Once the number 2 was dry we deiced to re-shoot. We went into the studio and got a table and cloth so that we could put the skittles onto the cloth so that when we dropped the number two onto the skittles it wouldn't make such a loud noise and would make it easier for the skittles to fly everywhere. We both then sorted the lighting out so that there was a spot light on the table were the skittles were and were the number two was going to be dropped. To shoot this we used a 'Flip Cam' and put it on a cambo camera stand (which is shown below).

Me and molly both took it in turns of shooting the video so that we both had a go at dropping the number 2 into the skittles and also that it would give us a variety of shoots to choose from when it comes to choosing out final video and editing it. After shooting the video we then uploaded each individual video to the computer and then saved it to out memory sticks.
