Planning and designing a set

When you first start off planing what your set is going to look like, you first have to know that what you are designing is going to be what comes up on the screen. So you have to be certain that any colours that you are going to use ect will be apropriate for the camera and also that they will look representive when they are on screen, because the cameras eye is different to the human eye and can change the colour tones.

- When you first start to make your set, you have to keep all of your set ideas loose, you shouldn't just stick to one idea because if that one idea dosn't work then you will at least still have some other ideas to work with.
- Another thing that you need to consider is the tonal pallet of the set. This is overall colours of the set so that all of the colours work together for example, aqua or sepia.
- One of the most important things for your show is the backdrop for the set, because this will give the camera something to focus on, when making the backdrop stick to your tonal pallet so that the colours will match.
- Another thing that you may want to consider is a logo or visual motif for the show, this will make the show seem more eye catching and it will give the audience something to feel.
- After you have thought of a good idea, the next stage is the lock down which means that this is the final idea and it can not be changed.
- The next stage is to get any props for the show for example, you could deside that you wanted to use buzzers in the show to make it seem more lively.
- The last stage is the final build which means getting everything together.
