Pre-Prouction Planning, Set Design

SET

This is a picture I drew of what we wanted the set to look like. Here you can see an old fashioned armchair with a side table with unanimous objects on, an old fashioned telephone, a vinyl player and Polaroid photos all over the wall. By putting these things in the room we gave a slightly cool vintage feel to it. There are also pieces of newspaper scrunched up and scattered all over the floor. We want that because, it makes the room look a lot more cluttered and untidy, making the singer, who will be sitting and singing in this room, a lot more unorganised. Maybe like there is something wrong. The walls will be painted red and the floor will be wooden floor boards. Again, we will use red on the walls to make the room look cosier and more filled. The last thing we want is the room looking bare and empty.
The point of the Polaroids on the wall is because, one of the Polaroids is going to be a picture of the stepping stones. (where our other filming location is) And we will look at that photo as a transition to the other world. Another object that will be used for a transition is the vinyl player. We will go from the other world when a pebble or rock is thrown into river and it creates a ripple. That ripple will then fade dissolve into a spinning vinyl.

LIGHTING

The Lighting we have chosen is very basic for the room. We would like it to be lit quite warm, so again it has an intimate and cluttered feel, however we do not want it to be too dark. So we will have quite an ordinary mix of white and orange three point lighting.
