The document discusses set design considerations for a play called "Wintertime". A proscenium theatre would be well suited as it allows for easy changing of sets between scenes of a cabin and a lake. The cabin set would include modern furniture with soft edges, open windows, and framed pictures to set a warm mood. Lighting would start warm but get colder throughout to match the changing themes, using yellow, white, blue, red, green colors to set the right atmosphere for each scene and enhance emotions. The lake set would have a backdrop of forest and cabin illuminated in contrasting warm and cold colors to depict the cold winter weather.

1. WINTERTIME

2. Environment for Performers
and performance
 Space
 It creates an environment for the actors to preform at
 Represents the world where the play will take place
 For Wintertime using a Proscenium Theatre would make
easier to change the sets, from cabin rooms to the lake

3. Cabin
•
•
•
•
Modern house to go with setting
Open windows
Large furniture
Lots of framed pictures
For the different scenes the lighting will set
the mood of the play.
• When the couple is arriving to he house
felling alone and in love warm yellow
lights set the tone.
• While the play goes on and the themes
of insecurity and lies, the hose gets
colder with white/blue lights

4. MOOD & SYLE
The mood is usually affected by the style of the set. Sharp edges and
lighter colors seem more modern and cold, when in the other hand softer
lines and darker colors are more classic and warm. In this case we are
using large furniture with soft borders to go according the geographical
location of the cabin

5. LIGHTING
The lighting sets the mood for a play.
Also helps to enhance feelings and how
we perceive them trough our vision.
This will go along the mood of the
play, getting colder and colder
throughout the play, and showing
warm colors by the end of the play
when they start to realize that they
need to value their friendships and
lovers
Also we will use red, green and
blue colors that will be further
described in the lighting section
Yellow lighting is wormer than White lighting

6. Lake
For the lake the easiest way to describe it is to have a forest and
cabin in the background. Then adding some effects:
• Blue lights to show how cold it is
• Snowflakes falling
• The house is illuminated in yellow so it contrast with the cold
scenario
