settling on an idea

This lesson we established our idea and confirmed all our set ups, costume ideas and props we will potentially use. We spoke a lot about various different ideas but one which stood out the most to us was the idea of having this shack type set up, dressing the studio to represent this run down shack. This idea indicates the band and singer to portray this hippie free spirited person and connects it to the beach as typically you find shacks on a beach. The beach is a strong representation of a free wild earthy person therefore this is very well suited to our band. 

In the studio there is a pile of long pieces of wood, one side is vanished and has this orangey red tone to it, however when you flip it this light rustic colour is on the back. This is ideal for if we create a shack as we can stack these around the room to create a room. Another idea which came up was leaving gaps in between the wood slabs this is so light can be let through and create this interesting effect. As the music is in a sense quite trippy and suggests this almost cycadelic vibe, we felt it could be interesting to experiment with a projector and lights to shine a visual animation or something colourful through the gaps of wood. This would add that element of cycadelic to the video and link back to the singers hippie style.
