Planning - Appearance Of Locations

Plain Background:

Due to the fact that the scenes with the plain background need to be mainly focused on the emotions of the characters and less on the background, it is going to be set up quite simply and plain. The background will remain plain (with some texture in creases and such from the curtain so that the background has some lift and lift to it) whilst the foreground of the characters will be quite chaotic - filled with emotions and body language.

Bedroom:

The bedroom scene is where most of the narrative and meaning comes in. The bedroom scene will reflect the environment that the male character is living in, so for starters it needs to look lived in but still crafted to an extent to retain a professional and artistic look which will be visually pleasing to the viewers. Due to the fact that the bedroom scene I am going to be filming in is quite basic with mainly white and blues, I will liven it up with a tartan red throw over the bed (tartan is very popular at the moment such as with flannel shirts, shawl coats, skirts and furniture, and due to the fact that my target audience is younger they will be seeking out current trends and therefore will most likely be into this kind of element to the setting). My reason for livening the room up with a tartan red throw is because it contrasts the plain bedroom which can be reflected onto the character - their outer appearance isn't something that pleases them, its their inner identity that is who they really are and what makes them happy, therefore the red throw is a symbolic code to the characters identity Other symbolic codes which will be included in the bedroom scene will be books with titles that reflect the emotions and current reality of the characters life, and personal items such as perfumes which also mirror the femininity of the character. These items are typical to almost any bedroom, so they are't just random items thrown into the mix if the video to try and connote something about the character, they will serve a real purpose to the character and feel natural to the viewer seeing them.
