working on set ups

 

Today I created a document displaying images which shows how each of our sets will look like. This set here is this shack type setting, we intend on using wooden planks leaning against the walls. This scene we will shoot mostly the band performing with the main singer, as it is simple which means we can focus the viewers attention on the bands performance instead of the scenery. We felt this shack type scenery represents the band accurately as it suggests this hippie beauty type vibe. We also would like to leave gaps in the wooden planks as we want to project colours through the gaps as we think it would create a cool effect. It will also add on to the cycadelic element, involving the colours and movement.

The next set up I created is based around the use of bottles. We initially thought of candles but this might be a struggle, and we wanted to include more colour. Therefore we thought of using bottles but placing lights in the bottles making them glow and stand out. Arranging them in an almost circle surrounding the singer placed on the floor. As well as bottles we will decorate the room with other hippie type decorations, such as tapestries, crystals and sage this will effectively create that hippie impression to the audience. 

The next set up is based on the idea of auras, which Alex is passionate and knows a lot about. This is basically a colour given off from your mood spiritually, using this we want to have mid shots of individual band members giving off different auras. This will display a colourful fun shots, we can also get the band do laugh and just act natural whilst this is happening, they could also dance to the song or play the music. I think this will be really effective and interesting to watch. We will do this by having the band placed with a white cloth placed behind them and shine different colours through the cloth behind them. 

These are the drawings Maia drew of each set up to create a clearer representation of what we want to achieve, and how we envision it looking like.
