As Live Production: Set Design

As Live Production: Set Design

Collaborating with "creatives" is an important skill to develop in this unit.

It is important to brief your creatives on your idea/vission and keep in regular contact to receive updates on theor progress etc.

Some of the "creatives" you might be collaborating with include:

-Set Designers

-Costume Designers

-Props Sorcers

-Graphics Designers

-Music Producers/Sourcers

-Promos 

In order for collaborations to be a success you need to develop a good working relationship.

Establish deadlines early on; monitor and review theor progress; give them the space to come up with their own ideas etc. 

MAke sure to have an initial chat/in-person meeting with your collaborators. And when it comes to talant, hold auditions and look at show reels.

When designing the set it is important to consider what we want and what we need. 

You need to think about size, height, practicality etc.

Also cinsider weather we want the set to look real/realistic or if we intentially want it to look artificial. 

Start early, pick a colour palet/scheme, think about logos and barnding etc. This gives set design teams as well as promos a clear vission early on of how everything will fit together. 

Have a floor and lighting plan ready to show, and be prepared to adapt it to fit budget, scale, time etc.

You should rehurse everything to make sure your contenet will:

-Sustain

-Fit in the time slot allocated

-Work in the studio and on camera

Visuals are not just limited to the set and the lighting. Props costume and makeup all need to be carefully cosidered.
