Design & Production: Set for Deadly Drive-in 2022

SET CREWS Cory T., Jules T., Venecia L.

Set Pieces -

16 Graves Cat Coffin Tattered sheets Body parts Bones Spider webs 2 rats Fake blood Skeleton Dog Large bat (Vladimir) Giant Spider (Charles)

Ideas -

A set piece for each character that could be implemented into the character’s entrance 1800s cemetery vibe for a general set theme Utilize fence Possible warning sign Tattered sheets hanging at the entrance Build a makeshift well for the Ring character.

Horizontal board on light pole for the creeper

Need to Buy ● 6” x 12’ wooden planks ● 17 ½ feet of either pvc pipe or a wooden pole. *Shopping List*

Screen

-

Grindhouse screen maybe Drill holes into the ground and place 16-foot poles in the ground and fill in the hole to hold the pole. The problem is gravity would likely tilt the dirt up.

Instead, we could use what we have and zip tie all through the fence to attach the screen Rope canvas supports through the fence to keep it in place Wooden plank idea

Fence dimensions

The screen as it is right now

-

-

Wooden Planks would need to be Mid-Fence height, probably around 9 feet or so, thick & at least 6-Ish wide, Notches would be serrated into the planks in order to secure ties and keep them from sliding and/or snapping Possible framing for the screen, would add weight, but increase stability and further prevent bubbling.

Backprojection would illuminate the solid Black line stitching the two projector screens together, front projection would do the same but with white taping, it would midgate the shadow.

2 Day Job (most likely requiring After Hours work.) 1 to put the screen together into one solid piece, another to set it up, more than a 2-man job.

Should be a less than 10-minute strike, using a box cutter to quickly remove every Zip-Tie, 2 people rolling the screen up and placing it in the shed.

Creeper perch The perch will be a spray-painted PVC pipe that is zip-tied to the fence where the creeper can rest his arms while perched.

We have the PVC pipe. It needs to be spray-painted black, as well as we need to determine if we will have enough extra zip ties from the projector screen.

~Slash Zone~ CURRENT PLAN Parking spaces (4-12)

Blush Plan Slash Zone Visual (Video) Actors: ● Actor zone will be half of a parking space ● Parking space 14 is where the platform will be located ● Parking space 13 is free space ● Can interact with the audience ● Can NOT touch audience Separation Plan for Audience & Actors - Stools or Chairs tie caution tape Plan we executed - (School TC not in use) tie caution tape to Traffic Cones - Fluorescent tape put in place to separate Actors from Audience Audience: ● Will be the other half of the parking space ● $5.00 per person (can seat 35-36 people) ● Will have to follow SZ rules ● Parking space 8 will be an entrance to SZ ● Seating on the ground (parking spaces 6,7,9, and 10) ● Seating in chairs (parking spaces 4, 5, 11, 12) ● Can NOT touch actors

Grass & General Set

OLD PLAN ●

●

Primary grass strip - Set up a generally even-spaced line of 12 gravestones along the fence.

- Scatter assorted bones and body parts throughout the grass in front of the grave, focusing on bones, as well as Jimmy and Mr. Bones.

- Norman’s mother will be seated close to the edge of the grass in front of the primary strip of gravestones.

- Charles will be on the gate with spiderwebs.

Right of entrance - To the right of the entrance, set up the coffin that Nik will come out of in the center of the grass in front of the tree.

- Set up remaining 4 gravestones around the coffin as well as Salem and Tim. - Scatter assorted bones and body parts around the Coffin, focusing on body parts.

- Hang Vladimir from the tree.

NEW PLAN ●

Primary Grass strip - Congregate all the bones in front of the Creeper Perch with three skulls directly at the foot of the perch

-

Stagger 7 tombstones freestanding with wooden skewers in the gap space between the Creeper Perch and the Screen with Tim.

-

Stagger 5 tombstones free-standing with wooden skewers in the gap space between the Screen and the White Curtains with Mr. Bones.

-

Charles will be on the fence with spiderwebs to the left of the Creeper Perch.

Salem will be in front of the Screen (because he’s the most important piece obviously).

●

Right of Entrance

-

To the right of the entrance, set up the coffin that Nik will come out of in the center of the grass in front of the tree.

-

Place all the body parts around the coffin with Jimmy in the coffin.

Have Vladimir hanging in the tree with a severed head resting in the branches and 3 gravestones at the foot of the tree.

Entrance Plan

Items Used: ● A total of five white sheets ● Total one white plastic table cover ● Extra white plastic covers ● Zip ties ● Tape --Positions of white/plastic sheets-● Place the five sheets and single plastic over the fence ● Use any extras on the inside of the fence Overal effect trying to be achieved- Have an eerie feel - Cover fence top to bottom - Audience must not be able to see Actors

Car Entry Way/Tattered Curtains Plan: - Tie tattered curtains up with rope on both sides of the road.

- One side of the rope is tied to the dogwood tree on the left of the road, and the other side is tied to a branch in a tree that is on the other side of the fence.

Notes for this year and next year: - Add more tattered sheets along the rope.

- Use the same branch that was used to hang up last year's tattered sheets.

(String used from last year is still attached to the branch)
