Harmony and Color & Composition Week 5
Harmony and Color & Composition In this assignment we will need to select a color scheme for our sets. Then explain how the primary and Secondary colors position themselves on the traditional color wheel. 1) One essay page which describes our approach identifying the colors of the set. 2) Then we need to use visual research with notes to further explain the different colors in the set of film. 3) After step 1 and 2 were completed we need to create a collage cover page that combines color within our set.
The doors and windows all are connected visually to the rodeo ring. The Sheriff office door and window are directly into the rodeo ring where the final battle will take place. The town is a very small. I researched that era and the largest town was made up of 20 building max. Everyone else lives in the out skirts of town or on the hills. It is important to establish that the town of Amityville is a large town with many business serving its citizens and tourist. According to my research in small and large towns the main attractions are rodeos and all the festivities that comes with the rodeo being in town. It is important to show people having a great time in the town celebrating the super bowl of rodeos. All the buildings will be made from wood which is what they used in the time. Since the majority of the scene will be done outside be must pay very close attention on the scaling and colors of the western era.
Paintings that Inspire
Set Colors
The Floor is pretty the tone of the whole film since its a western adaptation. The Fence will be a darker color to contrast the floors of the ring. The Stands since in that era was all wood along with the homes around the ring. Since the Floor is a lighter we will be able to distinguish the great Tiger, Wagons, Bulls, Sheriff and the cowboys.

Modeling your Set Week 6
Modeling your Set In this assignment we needed to start sketching our sets with a plan, section, elevation and perspective of the narrative environment we have selected for our scene. 1) One essay page which describes why camera positions are important when creating a set. 2) Then we need to describe which sections of our set will be built on stage and which will be shot on location. 3) After step 1 and 2 were completed we need to create a collage cover page that combines the different sets created for the film.
Soundstage and on Location
The sets that are created for the Jaws adaptation movie have been carefully selected for the camera crew to work around both on the soundstage and on location. The location manager can scout a location that will best resemble the old west. Since the majority of the takes will be in the rodeo ring building, one will be essential for the film. The shots inside the Sheriff’s office and Mayor's office will all be shot on a sound stage. It is important to shoot all the scenes that require the Sheriff inside to be in a soundstage to control light, sound and move the walls of the office for the cameras and crew to work better. Shooting on location will be challenging from transporting all the equipment to depending on the weather to cooperate during the filming days. The advantages of shooting on location that it gives the actors as well as the audience a more original feel of the film. The buildings that surround the rodeo ring with be made to cover the current location that the Location Manager will select in Arizona. With the technology currently used on film sets, the use of drones, jibs, gimbal will give the final scene a special touch of action. Planning, of course, will be crucial for the sets on the film from selecting a plan, a section, an elevation to render everything with a perspective. Once we have a plan of the final scene, we can start planning for sets and where the cameras will be. We can get all areal shots with a drone as well as all the shots from above. We will need to break a lot of the fourth wall in both the stage and on location, especially if any Steadicam shots are needed.
The Plan
The Selection
The Elevation for Office
The Elevation for Rodeo
These elevations are very important for the Set Design Team and the construction team that will build this rodeo on location in Arizona.
The inside stands are crucial to show a real rodeo event. This section is the north section of the rodeo ring. This can be multiplied for the east, west and south areas.
The Perspective
Perspectives gives us a unique look at the set both for soundstage and for location. This creates a more realistic world for the set designers.
