Set Design and Test Shots

For the practice set design we first got together and spoke about the plan and how we want it to look. We also spoke about what we are going to need to make it and what the best material will be to use. We then planned how big it needs to be. Using polyboards we could see how this could be the walls of the bedroom. Then we had to make the bed out of tables and could see how this would look when covered for the final shoot. We used the stands to mark out where the trees will be, and worked out how many we need. We marked the floor with masking tape to work out how long the path will be and how wide. 

We decided the measurements need to be:
From back of bed to the end of the bed – 2.20m
Back wall from right to left – 2.20m
The width of bedroom on widest part – 3.20m
Length of forest – 5.80m
Width of forest – 5.40m
The widest part of the path – 1.5m
Width of path at the narrowest point – 50cm



For the lighting, we have decided to use a medium sized honeycomb grid for Red Riding Hood. We feel this will create the best light on her. From the back, we are going to use a lantern soft box to create a softer atmosphere when lighting up the bedroom. We are shooting on a 50mm lens because that allows the background to fit in, while still getting a full length shot of Red Riding Hood.

       Test shots
·         Side shot of Red reading on bed – no trees included in shot
·         Shooting on 50mm lens to include background set and full length of Red
·         Second shot Red peering round tree (full length portrait with wolf in background – 50mm lens)
·         Third shot – Red picking up something off the path (landscape)
·         Possible shot, camera being on path – watching Red wander off
·         Other possible shots – down the path, full length shot of Red stepping into forest
·         Open back of set to take shot from inside of bedroom

·         Shot of Red looking scared, taken from across path, through the trees (possibly a close up with wolf shadow on the face)
