Design For Carcass

            Our first designer student work includes a set design for the short film script "Carcass". The greatest advantage of the whole project is our freedom of creativity. The lack of frame in terms of period and style requirements of the design gives us the freedom to rely on our own imagination. The only point we should follow is to present the narration in a futuristic way.  Looking through the script in depth I decided to create my own schedule during the design process departing it to 4 week paths.

           1^st Week: Developing a story for the story; Storyboarding & initial script work
The characters of the story are expressing strong feelings and emotions which differs them from each other but nowhere does the author mention details about the world around them and their reason to behave the way they do. I decided to come up with a background story to order the missing pieces of the puzzle while at the same time clearing my own attitude about the characters. In addition, some basic script work was done too.

           2^nd Week:  Research and Prop visuals

Through the second week I focused my research on constructions, forms and shapes suitable for the appended narration. The analyzed information was also vital for my first drawing work on some prop visualizations.

           3^rd Week:  Draughting, Drawing and again Draughting

This third path was the most exhausting part of the whole process. Draughting different sketch plans and imagining the cameras movement has to be quite precise which makes it usually taking hours in front of the paper or on the computer.  Visual drawings of some parts of the sets are also essential because of the required details for that illustrations. Basically, this period compassed most of the technical part of set designer’s job - drawing working sketches, sketch elevations and some set visuals.
           4^th Week:  Design for a Book, a Presentation and a White model.

Last week passed through a Photoshop trainings . A work-in-progress book was required so designing its templates took quite a lot of time. Thus, creating and formatting the final PowerPoint presentation of the whole process and a white model of a set which was also some activities left for the final stage.
