The document discusses set design ideas involving the use of colored fluorescent lights, backdrops, and lighting effects. It proposes projecting colored lights onto a white backdrop to create various visual effects and manipulating light and exposure. A dark backdrop is also suggested to use colored lights and reflective/distorted imagery. Smoke effects are proposed to enhance dance scenes.

1. Set Design

2. Florescent
lights
For one of the sets we
would ideally like to
have a variety of
coloured fluorescent
lights projected onto a
white background

3. Studio Backdrop
We wanted to have a studio backdrop in white for one of
the sets so we could project the coloured lights onto it.

4. Design
This is the colour pallet and visual effect we liked and wanted to create
something similar with the fluorescent lights against the white background.

5. Light
Projection
Here are some images
reflecting the sort of
colours we imagined
being projected onto the
white background.

6. Light
exposure
Against the white
backdrop we also wanted
to create a shadow type
visual by placing the light
behind the subject and
turning down the camera
exposure.

7. Black
Backdrop
For the other set we
would want to use a dark
background, so would
also need a backdrop in
black.

8. Design
We liked these kind of visual effects with the use of light manipulation, however
perhaps without the greens and a slightly warmer colour pallet. Such as the use
of oranges and reds. This would be over the dark background

9. Lighting

10. Design
This is the sort of image
we wanted to create for
another setting with the
dark background. We
liked the use of reflective
imagery and distorted
movement

11. Smoke
machine
As another visual effect we wanted
to use a white smoke machine. We
thought this could work particularly
well for the dance choreography
scenes. Here are photos of what
we wanted it to look like. Also we
wanted to play with shadow
images of the dance scenes shown
in the top photo.
