Mise-En-Scene: Set Design

 Set Design:

Set design establishes the tone, time, place, and mood of a production. It is extremely important to get the set design correct because without an excellent set, everything could seem out of place. To make sure our group achieves the necessary set to sell our film opening, these are the things we must do first...

- Analyze the Script or Concept

- Establish Design Elements

- Research & Gather Visual Inspiration

- Consider Technical & Budget Constraints

- Plan Construction & Materials

- Refine Through Feedback

As our group tries to achieve that crime scene essence, we will obviously need a wide enough area where not only we can place the actors and subjects in the scene but also the crew shooting it.

It's our main objective to portray an active crime scene to the best degree possible, and we wholeheartedly believe as a group we can get it done.

Also, for our long corridor shot, in which the opening credits and all will be showing up, we plan for this shot to be a dolly shot slowly moving through the corridor and abruptly stopping when the body of the victim ultimately drops. So achieving an excellent set design for that scene alone is crucial because that moment will hopefully set the tone for the entirety of the film, and our inspiration for the set design for that shot are these pictures...
