Why are these important to look at?
These are important to look at because we can get a basic idea of what the interior of a pullman's car looked like. Since, we do not have pullman cars anymore, this is very valuable information. How do they assist in your planning? They assisted in the arrangement of the chairs and tables of my set. They also helped decide how I would have my set use the space in the theatre. Has this changed your plans at all? This has greatly changed my plans because at first, I was designing the interior of a house. However, when I studied the interior of a pullman's car, I changed my design so that it would fit the actual setting of the story better. Link Link 2 What style are you planning on using?
I am planning to use impressionism in my play design. Why have chosen this style for this play? I have chosen this style because this style includes primary colors and small strokes to stimulate light. Due to this, I believe that it will give off a warm feeling to the set. Since the main characters are on a honeymoon and are in a hotel, I think that this is essential. How will this style assist you in bringing this scene to life? As I said before, I believe that it will give off a warm feeling to the set. Since the main characters are on a honeymoon and are in a hotel, I think that this is essential. Consider what Principles of Design you are using? How are you using them? I am using the principle Mass because I need to calculate where I put objects with space and how this will effect where and how the actors move. I am also using lines to direct the audience's line of sight. What time period does your play take place in? I think my play takes place in the early 1900s because the characters talked about hat costs and apparently, 22 dollar hats were expensive then. Since I know that a long time ago, the economy was worse, I guessed it was around the early 1900s or late 1800s. Does your set reflect that time period? So far, my set does not reflect much. However, when I design the furniture, I will make sure to design them to reflect the timer period this story is from. Is there any additional inspiration that you are drawing from? There is no additional inspiration that I am drawing from. I am only drawing from the story and some background knowledge What are you struggling with? I am struggling with designing furniture in my sketch up because we are using lines, shapes and a few tools to basically make 3D objects. What do you need to continue to work on? I still need to work on designing my set for my play because I am far from being finished with my set design. How are you going to move forward in the next class? I am going to more forward next class by continuing to design the set for my story so that I can hopefully finish my stage design. Why is it important for you to have accurate measurements of the stage space?
It is important to have accurate measurements of the stage space because when we are planning, it is essential that we make sure that we have correct proportions so that when we make the set pieces, everything fits alright. How will inaccurate measures affect the stage design, and then the set construction? If we have inaccurate measures, then we may design set pieces that are too big or too small. There is also a chance that we might not have enough space to act because the set pieces are too big. There is also a chance that the stage could end up looking too empty because we don't have big enough set pieces. If we do that it could ruin the mood and the overall aesthetics of our play. Why is it important to have accurate measures when you are building things? It is important to have accurate measures when we are building things because as I said before, the proportions might be off, the negative and positive space could be completely messed up and the set pieces might not be made correctly. |
