Preface This Set Design book has seven different projects that have become one. Learning the different techniques and process of set design has been a unique experience. From selecting a film and analyzing key components if a particular movie to changing the time and place. By doing this process, we have learned how important is to plan in advance to make decisions that will enhance the film set as a whole. By understanding how sets connect it enable us to plan accordingly to shoot on location or inside a soundstage or interior. It is always good to know the backstory of the protagonist of the film. This process will give us an inside look of the character and their surroundings. By also understanding and researching the colors of a particular area we can conclude the set colors, costumes, props to make the set as real as possible. Once we accomplished the previous steps, we can now model our set with a plan, section, elevation and perspective of the narrative environment for the film. Finally, after all the assignments I got to create a brand new story with everything I learned in this class.

thousands of miles just to come the festivities in Amityville. We see about three generations of
cowboys who come to participate in this week long event.
As you are entering the town we
can see many structures like
restaurant, banks, saloons and other stores. This showcases how
busy this town gets and how
much money they receive from the people in town.
The outďŹ t of the era is very important to depict the
cowboys of the era and also gives us an insight of the what was the style. From a hat, bandana, gun
holster, and in some cases fur pants. The women also had to wear a similar attire but had a skirt instead on pants. Everyone had cowboy boots that at that time were hand made.
The saloon was the place for drinking and it is very important to showcase
the barrels that housed the alcohol. We can see that the attire is a bit
different from what the cowboys
wear.
From the windows of the saloon you can see a hotel
that is very small and will
not be able to accommodate such large crowds from the rodeo that is why people camp out.
A view from the back shows us how small
everything really is. The saloon on the left followed by a restaurant and meat market. These structures were made by wood and in some cases the side of a living room.
Around the town in back of the buildings we see the ďŹ elds with the dry grass
grown which is a perfect hide away for the tiger.
In order to kill the tiger the choice of weapons
are a lasso
and revolvers as well as a rie as it was depicted earlier.
Final scene. This will be the main stage where
the sheri will battle the tiger.
Suddenly in front of everyone, the tiger attacks a young cowboy who was coming from the hills, and everyone goes into chaos running inside the main buildings. After everyone clears the town a senior cowboy starts calling for his son Jeb.

JAWS - Backstory Sheriff Bob East - As Scripted - Sheriff Bob East is the new sheriff in the town of Amityville. After his long career in law enforcement, he was hired as a sheriff to protect and investigate a series of disappearances of cows and other animals around the town. I had a feeling that all these disappearances were something bigger than everyone thought. Due to the festivities, the mayor of the town wanted the sheriff to make sure everyone was protected. The Protagonist Backstory- It is imperative to understand the sheriff’s backstory. Raised in a small town not too far from Amityville. His father was the sheriff, and during his teenage years, he always was with his father patrolling. Young Bob East always looked up to his father and wanted to be just like him. One day the sheriff disappeared, and his remains were found weeks later on a nearby hill.

The Adventure Environment Backstory - The important backstory for this adventure will take place in the center of the town where the rodeo ring it. Due to his background in law enforcement and since the rodeo is in town, the Sheriff will use the rodeo ring to kill the tiger. With the help of other cowboys they will use some bulls as bait to lure the great tiger inside the rodeo ring. Once the great tiger gets inside the rodeo ring, Sheriff Bob will let the bulls loose as the tiger tries to go after them four wagons with explosives will be ready to blow up the tiger. Key Setting will include. The Rodeo Ring in the center of town.- This place will be where the final battle will be between the Sheriff and the great tiger.

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.

Costume Colors
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.
