SET BUILD AND LIGHTING DESIGN

We had a lot of problems with our set location as we were trying to find a location that would match the style of video we were trying to make. This for us was an old theatre for the band to perform in. We tried various places and found that they were either to expensive or they were already being used for other events.When Dan, our lighting designer, came to talk with us about our video he suggested various ways of building a theatre in the studio using various props. We went through lots of different options of set design and we came to a decision about what to use. We also talked to Dan about what style of lighting we wanted to use. We said that we would like a sepia effect to make the video look more vintage so he suggested that we use certain lighting effects on the day and special filters to put over the camera lens.
Dan, however, did manage to find us the perfect location for our performance shoot. It is an old house called The Grange and it is an old style English mansion with a deteriorating interior which gives a vintage effect. Dan managed to find us this location as he worked there for a couple of months and was able to organise a shoot day for us. These are some pictures of The Grange.
