SET DESIGN FOR THE LOUNGE

Set designers create the overall look of a theatre, television or film production. In the film and TV industry they are often known as production designers and in the theatre as stage designers.

Typical responsibilities include:

• reading scripts
• producing plans, drawings and models of sets
• preparing estimates of set costs
• liaising with directors, producers, costume designers and lighting/sound staff etc
• managing budgets
• viewing possible outside broadcast sites
• planning
• attending rehearsals/film takes
• meeting with and commissioning set construction companies
  

During set design we had to paint the floor due to the colours which would reflect the show. The whole set was black and red these colours stood out well. whilst preparing for the set I also had to design the logo. I was told a little to late however i still managed to pull through.

 

I used a foam board and printed out the title 'THE LOUNGE' on A4 paper and cut out the letter of the foam board. The foam board would then go on the pillars so it can light up.

This is the process of how I cut around the letters. I used a blade and a wooden board at the bottom.

VISION MIXING

Vision mixers cut the camera shots together in any show that is recorded on multiple cameras. This can include studio shows and outside broadcasts, whether pre-recorded or live. They sit next to the director in the gallery and operate a vision mixing desk. They cut and mix between shots, play in taped items and overlay graphics, all on the instructions of the director.

After completing the logo design for 9 hours we did not use it for the studio :(, however the crew was a little unprepared due to pressure and other reasons. there was also little time for set designing which maybe the reason we never used it.
