Location and sets Research

Initial ideas and plan for my Sci-Fi location

Set ideas

Where?As I am only making the opening to a film I will only require one location/set. The location needed is a bedroom aboard a space craft as such I will have to make the set myself. The images on the previous slide I am using as inspiration for what I will create.

I will use foil bubbled wrap aluminum insulation, to create the walls of my set. I shall also use cardboard tubing and spray paint to built other aspects of my set anything else I hope to simply redress existing objects such as a a travel bed as well as using old pieces of technology (redressed slightly) to give an old fashioned view of the future.

How will the set be built and what with? I shall stick the foil to the walls of a room from there I will use a combination of carpet tubing and other unusual or different containers etc. I shall use spray paint and LED’s to add colour and lighting to my set. All the different pieces shall be coloured and lit etc. and then stuck to the walls or props etc. to give the look of a bedroom on board a fictional spaceship.Also I shall use computer parts some new some old combined with the cardboard, plastic, lights etc. to give a futuristic yet retro look to the set.For the bed I will use unusual coloured (possibly silver) bedding with things stuck to the frame ie cardboard, plastics and light to transform the bed into a fictional spaceship style bed.

What will be in the room?

What will be in the room?The previous slide shows several things I plan on including in my set, some of these things will be stuck on the walls etc. whilst others will help to make objects such as the cereal box and comic books in the room. The idea is to initially fit the room with signs symbols etc. to give a spaceship looking interior then add more homely retro sci-fi stuff such as the Sci-Fi comic and the cereal box to show that a human lives in this room so is somewhat personalised.
