Feedback from set designers

Today we met up with the set designers and this was their response to our idea and set design:

1st element:
Matt agrees with the tunnel idea and suggested that we have black flats as the walls and cool toned colours for the strip lights to set a mood. He also suggested that we get reflective mirror material which we put at the back of the tunnel to reflect more of the lights to give an illusion of infinity. He said that we needed to work on our details such as makeup and costume and how we are going to present our star image.

2nd element:
They like the idea of the silhouettes being projected onto a white sheet, and we found out from the set designers that we can use a deep blue gel for the colour of the white sheet, which will set the tone of music video. The artist will be in the foreground with the dancers in the background, and Matt suggested warping the shadows to make a more funky effect to them.

3rd element:
The same white sheet from element 2, but the camera would be low down. This is her on the lying on the ground, and there will be tracking shots of her up and down her body, a projection of legs behind her 'walking all over her'

4th element:
This is the transition from darkness into light, therefore having a white sheet as the background and a bright light shining through the back of it. There is a shot of being pulled up by the potential partner, dry ice smoke comes over and is overexposed near the artist. We use smoke because it is an indexical signifier of fire, and the song is called 'Ignite Me'. Then there are up model-like shots of skin and not much moving from the subjects, a tracking shot of them would be effective.
