Set Design

For our set design, we have officiated two locations; the studio at out school where we will build a white room and the car park for our car scene. These two locations are both key but only one requires a lot of effort for designing the set. 

The white room is our focus for set design- here are some images for inspiration and to help show they exact sort of outlook we want as our final design, if possible. 

The white room would ideally be in a tight space, suggesting a sense of claustrophobia for the characters. The room would consist of one table and only two chairs with a single light bulb in the centre of the room, however, we may not use the table depending on the area we have to film. However, during shooting we realised that the table didn't enhance the scene as much as we had hoped and chose to not use it and instead have the chairs facing back to back to create a mysterious feel. Additionally we didn't use the white walls on shoot day as we felt the brick walls were much more effective and original when lit.

Here we see, on shoot, the characters facing back to back without the table

As inspiration by 'The Exorcist', we felt that the furniture should be wrapped in soft material which suggested that the capturers care about the victims. On shoot, we decided to use bin liners to cover the chairs as we felt the capturers should care less about their injuries but care more about blood stains etc- hence the plastic bags. Make up will show the men's exhaustion and bruising. We know that they are not in a safe environment when watching the scene due to the connotations made.

Here is the chair, wrapped in bin liners, whilst on shoot

Here are a selection of images that may have been similar to shots used on shoot day. They have been taken from 'Just cant rely on you' music video by Paloma Faith. These camera angles are likely to be the ones that we choose to use in the final edit.
