Mise-En-Scene - Set Design

Hi blog! 

To design our set, we need to all gather basketball memorabilia. There are 4 different "sets". The basketball gym, the coach's office, JD's room and the weightlifting room / gym.

The basketball gym is straightforward, we can use the one at the YMCA or the one at school after school if we get authorization. The coach's office can be any of our teacher's rooms as long as it's empty, teachers all have big desks, the coach would be on the teacher's side and JD on the student's. The weightlifting room would be straightforward too, the YMCA or the school weightlifting room. 

The part that requires our development is JD's room. We'll need to have basketball memorabilia, including posters, a ball, and the photo with his brother. We've split this task up and we decided I'm in charge of the posters. We'll be filming next week so I need to get something quick, so I took to Amazon.

There's a set of 9 or 12 posters for $12.

I think the second kind of set is better because it shows he idolizes a specific player.

However, an alternative is using our friend's room, since he has a lot of sports memorabilia as well as some jerseys we could hang up. We also have a signed basketball we could use. This is what his room looks like right now, before we develop it at all.

I'll have to see if more posters would be necessary or helpful, 12 is a lot either way and we'd only be able to use some of them, but I'm pretty happy with how we've planned to develop this set design so far. See you next time.
