FEEDBACK 8/04/11
I went in to the session this morning to show some of my ideas for my set. Lee said he wants me to have at least 1 level of my maquette built for next week but I really don’t think I’m ready for that just yet. I have been thinking about how I want my set to function e.g. how it can be taken apart to see all of the sections and I have started sketching out the layouts...

FMP 21/02/11
I just want to make a quick note of a few things I have been thinking about for my FMP. Firstly, I have chosen to stick with ‘Truckers’ despite finding those videos on youtube, the main reason being that I feel it is too late in the day to go changing everything. So I am going to slightly change my focus so instead of worrying too much about the actual imagery, I am going...

TERRY PRATCHETT RESEARCH
Now I have chosen to look at Terry Pratchett’s books, I want to get as much research as possible about him because I have never read any of his books. I have borrowed the ‘Truckers’ book but I also have ‘Making money’ and ‘The Last Hero’ which are both part of the Disc World series. “The Last Hero’ book I have is an...
IDEA DEVELOPMENT 15/02/11
So after researching into the different genres for theatre plays I have decided that I will either be focussing on horror or fantasy. I feel these genres give me the biggest scope for creativity. I will now research these in more depth to try and narrow it down to one genre.

I have been experimenting with model making as part of my FMP. The reason being I want to establish what I am capable of building so that my final designs aren’t unachievable. Today I have been working on making a model of the plant from Little Shop Of Horrors and I am really happy with the outcome so far. I am also happy that it only took a few hours which I think is pretty good...
FEEDBACK 11/02/11
Today I pitched my idea for the first time and got some feedback. It went down well and I think most people thought my idea of doing set design was good and unusual. I now know that I want to use an existing story for my designs rather than creating a new concept because this would be too much work. I now want to look into all the different genres of films and books so that I...
IDEAS 4/2/11
In the session today it was said that we should base our FMP on something that we like. So here is a list of things I like:
1. Tattoos (designing and getting them) and piercings
2. Music
3. MTV reality shows
4. Musicals
5. Shopping
6. America (even though I’ve never been)
…This list is subject to grow. In terms of design there are quite a few areas that interest...
IDEAS 4/2/11
So after todays briefing I have had a few ideas but I still keep coming back to my idea about re-branding Afflecks Palace. The more I think about it, the more ideas I have about what I could do. My initial idea is that I want it to appeal to a wider audience because at the minute the they have a very niche group of customers. Also it is tucked away in the northern quarter away from...
