TIDEFLAT, back to the harbour

TIDEFLAT · shooting script
A tall old building cut away like a doll's house at night. Lit rooms on three floors, workbenches, rails of tiny jumpers, a wall of instant photos, a staircase, and on the ground floor a miniature harbour on a table under lamps.

3AINT. THE SALT HOUSE – THE STUDIO – CONTINUOUS3A

FOURTEEN BY LUNCH · MOCKUMENTARY · UNIT 2

Pull back again, and the studio is a doll's house, cut away: an old salt house, tarred black outside, whitewashed in.

Downstairs: Stage 4, the puppet hospital, the foley booth. Upstairs: continuity, the model shop, the production office, wardrobe, the canteen.

In every window, a pair of hands at work. No faces on the floor.

The heating pipes are warm. Nobody remembers turning them on.

The brass rule reads 1:6.

STAGE 4, THE HOSPITAL, UNIT 2 and THE OFFICE. CONTINUITY, the MODEL SHOP and THE CANTEEN are closed sets. ABOUT THIS FILM.
