When going about deciding what I was going to do I reflected a lot on the last couple years, all the projects I liked and all the projects I didn&#8217;t like. After reflecting I realized that I really like working on film aesthetics. So, I decided to do Set Design. How I went about this project was I dreamt up 4 characters and then designed their living spaces. The characters I settled on were 1) A frat boys bedroom 2) A middle school girls room 3) A middle aged alcoholics living room and 4) An 1800s dining room (did this as a vision board). Then I sourced all of the materials I needed and set up the set in my grandma&#8217;s empty room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sourcing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

is supposed to be the peak of all your Freestyle skills, this is what Mr. Taylor said when he introduced the project. Over the past two years at Freestyle, I have done a lot of projects that I have really loved and a lot of projects that I haven\u2019t. I have also learned many different skills, some that I like more than others. I have loved being in Film and I have really gotten to learn what I love about Film, I love the aesthetics of film, and last year I did my explorations project on Makeup and hair in the film industry and I loved that project and so I wanted to get more into the aesthetics of Film but something completely different. A week before the project was introduced, I watched my favorite movie Lady Bird and while watching that movie I took notice of her room in the film and how well-designed it was, it fit her character perfectly. So when Mr. Taylor introduced the project immediately. I knew I wanted to do set design. The way I set up the project was first I had to come up with four characters and I would design those four characters&#8217; living spaces. The characters I decided to do were: a middle-aged alcoholics den, two: a middle school girl&#8217;s room, three: a frat boy&#8217;s room, and four: an 1800s rich family dining room, and for the last one, I did it online. The first thing that I had to do to design these rooms was to source all the items I would use to put in the rooms, so to do that I went to Goodwill, I borrowed from my friends and family and I had people I knew who were good at making things, make props that I needed. The second step of the process was setting everything up in the room, which proved to be harder than I thought. I made the mistake of not going into the room before sourcing all of the stuff I needed so when I went into the room for the first time I realized that the space was a lot bigger than I anticipated and I had not really sourced enough stuff to fill the whole room, so I had to make do with what I had and try to use the things I had to expand the space. After, I set up the space where I took a lot of photos and then I would look at the photos and move things around accordingly to see what looks the best. Some big lessons that I have learned from this project are one: how important the sourcing of items for the set is, I kind of glazed over this step, and I realized that when designing a set you should always get more items than you need to, so that when some items don\u2019t work you have a lot more to fill up the space. Another lesson I learned was the importance of Budgeting, even when I went to thrift shops to find what I wanted, the money started adding up pretty quickly, and I realized a little more research in the beginning is important so that I would&#8217;ve known exactly what I wanted and exactly how much everything would be so I could act accordingly. The last big lesson I learned was the importance of getting into the head of the character that\u2019s space I was designing, you really need to get in their head and think about the things they would like and their personalities, to make a successful room. Overall, I had a really fun time with this project but if I could go back I would challenge myself to put more time into the sourcing of the items for my room and more time into setting up the rooms. I learned through this project how cool set design is and how I may potentially want to do it in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction The Zenith Project is supposed to be the peak of all Freestyle Skills.
