The Apothecary Week 11 - Production Pass 3

Dated: 19 April 2024

This week has been all about preparing for our third production pass of the class. Throughout our group, we have been mostly going through and perfecting our story.

One of the ways that we have been adjusting our story is to simplify it as it has been too complex. Some of the main story parts that we have cut while simplifying our story is that we are changing the period of time from over the course of 3 weeks, to the course of 1 day. This is to help move the story along without the chance of the audience or view getting confused.

Olivia also made us some cute character designs for our customers that will be in the store. We have to refine them a little bit but they are a good start in the right direction.

We are happy with the feedback that we got from the production pass such as to work on creating more contrast in the exterior decorations. This could be anything from changing the color, adding a grand opening sign, adding plants and little trinkets, or even something such as a flower mural.

We are also starting the layout to our film and we are using 3 rigs for our layout. We are using the "waitress" rig, "Stewart" rig, and the "max" rig. I am excited to start modelling and focusing on the rest of the production.
