R & P Post 26: Set design, locations and props

Location & Set Design:
As we are filming our music video entirely in our school's Seward Studio, this makes the task of shooting our music video far easier, as the equipment and (extensive amount of) props are already in school, and are far easier to transport. It also allows for far more flexible working hours than if organising an external shoot on location. Not only this, the studio is equipped with a cyclorama as well as floor lights and a studio lighting desk, which allow us to achieve different coloured backgrounds for each of our planned character setups.

Despite having used the studio on a number of occasions before, I felt that it would be best if I produced detailed set design diagrams, with the aim of providing a clear & useful reference when actually dressing and lighting the set.

I produced initial setup sketches in order to keep in
 mind a clear idea of lighting, props, & prop positions

In terms of how we will dress and light our set, each setup will differ in its different lighting colour and props. We want to clearly differ between the setups, as GiGi's characterisation will be different in each - similar is seen in Jessie J's 'Price Tag' (right).
Below I have included each of my sketch diagrams for our planned shooting setups.

Props:
We also created a props list in order to clearly keep an idea of what we needed to bring, and which particular props were needed for each particular setup. I also included a small list to the right of my diagrams for the same purpose. I felt that this tactic to break the list down into setups was really useful, as it meant that we were able to simply reference a certain setup when transporting props into the studio.
