Mise-en-scene : Set

     For the set of this film opening, I need multiple locations. I honestly gave myself a lot of work here since I made the opening set in two different places. For one of them, I can easily use my house. I'd have to redecorate to make it seem like a dorm room, or at least an apartment that Jackson and Charles live in for college. The other would be preferably be made to look like a student center of sorts, where the friend group would go to study.

These two pictures are my inspiration for the guys' dorm room. I like how the first one had the defined sections for each person, while the second one is much more believable (which makes me realize whatever room I use will have to be a bit messy). Although, this would be difficult for me to achieve a look like this, since I have my own bedroom and it is decorated very specifically to my taste. I definitely will consider using a lot of decoration to help make me or one of my family member's rooms fit the look I'm going for much better if none of my actors have a room that will work.

    This is my inspiration for the recording location of the second part of the opening. This would be a lot harder to control, though, since it would be outside and very unpredictable for filming. I have a backup idea of redecorating my living room a bit just to make it seem like a dorm or apartment living room that the friend group possibly just decided to meet up in to study. My biggest challenge set wise is deciding where exactly I am going to be, since I need to get decorations depending on that. I think I could honestly just use my house for the entire film, though. For now, I will buy decoration for the set as if it was at my house, and adapt to my new surroundings if it changes.
