Professional Toolkit- Set Design

After our fourth group meeting, we have finally come up with some sort of solid idea of what the set should look like, and as production designer it is my job to create this set and make it a possibility. Here are my notes from the meeting:

-Green screen on back wall
-Off-white walls
-Phones on display
-Pillars for displaying phones
-Pictures of phones on walls
-Grey flooring (to make it easier for set extension)

With these notes I can now go ahead and make some set plans and drawings:

The first is an overhead plan of the set, to show roughly where things are going to go and to get a sense of the space we will have, and the proportions of the room according to the measurements we have.

The second is a perspective of the set from the eye of the camera. This is to try and see how the set will look from the camera's perspective and gives a little more detail about where things are going to go. From this, the rest of the team can get more of an idea of what we are going for when we plan shots and when we come to build the set. 

The next thing I have to do is try and decide on the colours and materials for the room. From the notes I have said to use an off-white on the walls and to have a grey floor to make it easier for the set extension we will do. However I also need to think about what type of flooring we will use. For example, carpet I probably wouldn't find appropriate for our film so I need to consider what else we could use. Another thing which comes into it is availability; how available a certain material is and how much it might cost.
