SET

Set Design

In this post Tom has written about the set design of the studio that we will be using in our opening sequence. 

Tom is the person who is in charge of the set design. This is what he has produced. 

Why did we choose this set?

We chose to design the set like this as we wanted to show that this was set in a modern day, rich environment - however keep the selection room looking really dark to create tension and unease in the scene.

This was the initial plan of his compiled ideas for set design:

- We wanted to keep everything black, and use spotlights as the main method of lighting the three captives in the selection room. This way we keep the focus on the actors and how they are feeling, whilst creating a disorientating surrounding.

- Due to the spacing of the room and the limitation that we had to keep the captives directly opposite the viewing window, we have decided to go with angled side walls to the set, with one back wall behind the captives that creates a no-escape/pit like feeling, whilst also covering the lighting equipment and the fire exit from view of the cameras.

Below is our sketching of what the set will look like:

Below is the space we will be working with:

Materials needed to complete this set:

- Three large cut wood panels (black).

- Black Paint.

- Coat stand.

- Coat hooks (for weapon rack).
