Current Talk '03 II / Re:What's with the new entrance???
« on: September 16, 2003, 09:20:21 PM »
I've always thought the double doors off the OH drawing room led to a narrow, twisting passageway, which, ultimately, took one back to the kitchen. Presumably there was a dining room off the drawing room, beyond which was a more regular kitchen area, although in the 18th century even in homes as wealthy as the Collins' I believe a lot of the cooking would have happened along a long fireplace in the main room.
What you mentioned with Josette's room happened a couple of times during PT with Angelique's room (the PT room). You'd see people walking into the alcove in which the bed was situated and then here a slam as if there was a door through there. From the layout, however, there obviously wasn't.
I think it all has to do with blocking shows on an unbelievably tight schedule, in a really tight studio space, and sometimes moving the actors around to accommodate cameras that were set up to move into another shot on another bit of the set.
