Set Designing

     Even though we are not using a set design it is still important watch out for those things that we show on the camera. We have two different sets, the first one is for scenes 1 and 3 which is my room in my house. The second one will be for scene 2 and is a part of my neighborhood near the street. 

Rearranging my room was a very easy thing we could easily do, so we had to do it right. Our main character is a student who, essentially, does not know what to do with his life. Therefore, he has no hobbies, interests, or any idea of his path. This had to be reflected in his room as it would have to be very plain. We need to take things off my room that show some kind of interests, such as my guitar, keyboard, or certain posters that did not reinforce our characters personality. 

There is also specific things we want our character's room to have. One of those things are post it notes that showed his "checklist." These will show messages such as "homework due" or "test on this date." These mainly support the fact that Peter is a guy who does not like to do his assignments, therefore, he needs a physical representation of them so that he would actually start them. Moreover, these post it notes are going to be used in an specific show that goes through these to show his "stress" of having to finish many assignments.

For set 2 we do not have to do much rearranging. What we had to do was location scouting. In this location Peter and Michael would walk and talk while taking out Peter's dog. And, these place is supposed to be within walking distance of both of their houses. So, for this set we needed a narrow path, street, or sidewalk near a neighborhood. Houses had to be able to be seen on the shot to show that they both live nearby. And, there had to be some sort of connecting pathway so that while a character stays in front of the camera, the other one can walk out of the shot. We did find a place like this within my neighborhood San Messina.
