Set design

The most complex component of the set design for our video will be the stage where our artist and the band will perform. We will have to plan its proportions so that the stage would be big enough to look realistic and fit all the music instruments, including a large piano and a drum kit, despite the limited space of the studio that we have. We would it to have a brick wall at the back, which would be a reference to the jazz clubs in New Orleans, the place where African American musicians found this genre of music. In front of the stage some space will be occupied by tables with the audience, hence we will have to make sure that enough space will be left for the equipment.

The second set design should be much less time-consuming to construct. It will consist of a punchbag, hanging from the ceiling on a chain, and a gym bench next to it. The area where the boxer will perform will be enclosed by black curtains and only a part of it will be lit up by a spotlight. Thus, the boxer will seem to be surrounded by black infinity.

The images below show the diagrams that Kristien drew to show the set design artists in the future meetings. The first one represents designs for the stage and for the boxer element:

The set design for ballerina will be similar to boxer's, in a sense that she will also perform in dark infinite space. There will be no props or decorations and she will be lit up by projectors on the right and left from her, as shown on the diagram below:
