Developing Setting

     Hey all readers! Before I can even think of filming for my opening, I need to really think about turning my room into Nicole's room (aka the set design). My room currently is very plain and basic. It's light pink with grey accents like my headboard and desk. I have LED lights around my room (which I plan to use to develop lighting) and overall a more simplistic room style. I believe the character Nicole would be more opposite. I believe her room would be messier, more alternative (by our measures), and include some witchy things to show her newfound interest. I do believe including some more basic things would make sense for a character who still redeems some more basic interests, as she is someone who goes with what's trendy. So as I build the setting in my room, I will take pictures that I will show below.

My Desk:

    In creating my character Nicky's bedroom, I wanted to create her desk with a lot of clutter and showcase all her witchcraft materials. The lighting as well as the inclusion of candles, mirrors, and most importantly, a Ouija board, all helped in creating the vibe I want and in making Nicky's room seem as unique as possible. Additionally, I wanted to demonstrate her need to follow trends by showing many witchcraft products in her room which shows that she purchased all sorts of witchcraft things from online to fuel her ambition to stay trendy.

My Bed:

    For Nicky's actual bed, I tried to make it look slept in and used and like she attempted to make it, but not very clean and perfect as teenagers often aren't. The tarot cards, which play a huge role in the film, are scattered across her bed; there are posters on the wall, and crystals are all on her bed, which work together in creating the vibe and tone for the film as well as in establishing Nicky as an active consumer with a lot of trendy products for her witchcraft. 

Takeaway:

    Now that my room is turned into Nicky's, I feel I'm almost at the point to start production. I think the setting looks great, and I am so beyond happy with how it came out, especially how it photographed. The vibe really matched the color scheme research I did and really matched the vision I had. I cannot wait to start the filming process next week and will keep you all updated.
