SET DESIGN  

The band set up 

For the band set up we pictured something very performance like with the camera moving around the band members.

> we would use colored lights that flash on and off to connote that idea of a concert occurring. Perhaps we could use smoke around the band as well.

> The background for the set up therefore  would be relatively plain- depending on costume I think we could easily have black or white walls as the positioning of the band and the lighting is what will give the shots its depht.

The Narrative set up                                                                                                                                    

For the narrative set up I thought that we could use the TV Studio to recreate a sense of vintage gym- this gym is abstract however and as this music video will be reminiscent of the 70s/80s, I think we could desaturate the Images and really highlight the primary colors to give it a more old fashioned look.

> Therefore I believe that a red brick wall would look traditional- It would give off a tough, street aestetic playing along with the irony of the actions.

> The set up would include gym equipment such as vintage punching bag, boxing gloves, barbells, dumbbells, a balance trainer and so on. We would subsequently show the lead actor tirelessly completting feats of physical exercise using this equipment

The final set up

We wanted to create a sense that the man is entering a children's competition.

We decided on a plain 'homemade' set up.

> A peeling, dirty plaster wall that has a banner and a poster of the competition name- 'Annual Games/ category; under 13's 

> small table with chairs that fit the young girl but when the man sits down he looks too big and out of place.

> A bench where the presented are parents are sitting- watching the competition
