STUDIO AND LIGHTING PLAN

The set and lighting designs are done in order for the designer to know what is needed for the pop video. They need to be detailed in order for the specifics to be done properly and therefore the set will look as good as possible.

We tried to draw the plan is as much detail as possible, for a 'birds eye view' perspective. The set design of the pop video is relatively simple because the main attraction lies with the performance element. Therefore, there are going to be a few rows of red velvet cinema seats, and also a white/blue/red room which they are in, the room will be quite vibrant and bright in order to represent the quirkiness of the video, and also contrast to the darkness of the seats. There will be a blue/green screen in front of the seats that way when just the layer of the seats is being filmed, nothing else is seen. On the stage part of the set, there will be doors on either side of the set, this way characters can enter and leave the room, which will give the perspective of the girl being in the same room as the performer: Ruby. Nothing is going to be inside the room apart from what Ruby or the band members bring in, therefore Ruby will have a lot of space in which to perform in.





The lighting of the set is going to be quite bright on the stage area and darker by the seats, therefore representing the girl watching a film. Although the colours will be bright, in order to suggest excitement and enthusiasm, the lights will also be warm so that Ruby and the band members look friendly and comfortable within the frame. In the after effects we plan to put a bright light, almost slightly flickering, above the camera to represent a projector being shone onto the stage, again showing that it is a film being shown, and not that Ruby is within the frame. This contrasts aspects to film and real performance, fiction and reality, and are done in order to play with the minds of the audience, and mess around with perspectives.
