Production Design – Year 1 Project

For Production Design in Year 1, our only major tasks were to break down a short script and design one of the sets. We also had to build a model of said set.

I began by doing a brief design of the first 2 locations / sets.

Scene 1 was set on a moor

I started by defining what a moor was.

Then deciding on the colours / aesthetic. I did this by reading the mood and situation. It was dirty, scary and mysterious. I went with muddy, uncomfortable colours.

Then I took excerpts from the script that described the location. I also included descriptions of costume.

And finally I did a sketch of the scene.

Scene 2 was set in a mortuary

Exact same process again.

Scene 3 was set in a bar

I put a LOT more detail into this sketch as it was the location I was most interested in designing in depth for my model. You can see below the sketch the plans for the model.
