Set Design Plan

Set designs are essential for the set design director. This shows them what will be featured in the set, if the set is being built from scratch. It also shows what a location will have in it such as pictures and sofas. It sets out where the members of the band will be placed as well.

We drew the plan on a set design sheet, which featured the name of our group and the title of our song and the day of our shoot. When we drew the final set design we had to go into a huge amount of detail about the location of each item that would be on the set. We also had to be very precise about where band members would be placed and think about whether they would all be seen in a long shot in their positions. We also had to create a brief about what else may be included in the set and possible props we may need to supply which wouldn’t already be in the set. We also needed to state what kind of mood we wanted to create and what kind of feeling we wanted to be portrayed.

Unfortunately, because our locations kept changing due to accessibility and other external factors we did several set design plans. Each included a brief about the location characteristics and what mood we wanted to create. As well as a map of where each band member would be located in relation to the set. Here is an image of a real set design from a media product.

When we designed the studio set we had to think about camera angles as well to ensure we would have in frame what we wanted.Attatched is the set design for the studio aspect of our performance video.
