Planning & Designing a Set.

After finally deciding on the name of 'Culture City', we decided that the set should be relevant to this title, and should mainly be a city landscape. As advised that colours such as blues and purples appear best on camera, we chose to use these as our colour palette.

Victoria and Daniel (Art Directors) drew up a plan of what the front of the desk would look like, so it would be easier to paint later on. It was also decided that the top of the desk would be cut into a trapezium shape, rather than a semi-circle, to create a more angular effect.

Lights were painted onto buildings on the front desk board, as well as on 2 of the flat back boards, to reinforce the city theme.

Even though my job was not within Art/Design, I still helped with the painting of the set.

Stuart came up with the logo idea, which was a cross-word like grid with the show's title within it; we thought this was very effective.

Once we started proper rehearsals, we discovered that the middle back board looked very plain on camera, and due to our logo only being on the desk front, it was not on screen enough. Therefore, a bigger logo was put onto this board.
