Set Design 1
From drawing the story board it allowed me to gain better visual imagery of how I would like my set to be for the scene I picked in Hansel and Gretel. My scene from Hansel and Gretel was when the children find the house made out of sweets and sugar and start eating it. So for this genre I designed it as though the inventor has been walking for days as seen in the story board and comes across a camp (the ginger bread house) were there is food cooking so he tries to get some of the food (like the children eating the house) but he's caught and made a prisoner by the Indians (like when the children are invited and tricked by the witch).
So for the set I tried to include all elements to create an Indian tribe, I included tipis, the food cooking on a fire and pole which is were I imagine them to tie him up and then some bushes for him to hide and the back drop is of a mountainous landscape.
Hi Kate
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy - the drawings and mood boards are good indicators (some good drawing skills too) - but I think that it would be interesting to see how you could develop your ideas into something more 'stagey' in a sense - perhaps less naturalistic/realistic. Perhaps it needs an element of the bizarre - H & G is bizarre, and this is somehow missing. So can the teepees be edible, rather than there being a more realistic equivalent? If the designs were more H & G -oriented, it would help - at the moment they've moved away from the essence of the story perhaps a little too much.
However - the productivity and engagement going on here is great to see. Keep it going!
