Sketches of set design / construction of test shots


We decided that we wanted our video to be set in three different places: in the studio for the performance shots, in the hotel and around town. We have roughly sketched out studio set up, which will be a plain white back drop and floor, with the instrument and band being in black for sharp contrast which makes them stand out. The lighting will fairly neutral and we may have white spotlights focusing on each of the members.  We will have the bassist on the left, the drummer central back, the singer central front and the guitarist right. We are also going to have two amps one placed with the bassist, one to the right with the guitarist, creating the edge of our frame. We plan to create the white back ground by using the photography back drops, pinning two of them together in order to make it wide enough for the frame. We plan on getting this backdrop from college. 

The hotel shots and outdoor shots will not need any extra set design as this is out of our hands, however we may have to consider additional lighting and exposure to make sure that our members can be seen and we make effective use of shadows and silhouettes. We will plan this when we are on location doing our test shots.
