set and lighting design

In the first image, We are going to have a spotlight on the piano. This is because the piano is the focus of attention at this point. The rest of the band are going to be in the dark, but shown as figures, just to let the audience no that they are there. The band are still at this point. We are also having smoke coming down the spotlight to give it a more dramatic effect.

The second image is when a bright light comes on to show the whole band joining in. This is when the music tempo gets quicker and it is after the moment when the man kicks the chair over and leaves the girl hanging. So all the instruments are playing at this point.

For the narrative we are using Chiaroseuro lighting, which is bright lighting focused on the bodies of the characters within the scene. It blacks out everything in the background, which makes everything in the background look like a dark shadow. We chose to do this type of lighting for the narrative because it emphasises the feeling of them doing something wrong. However they are doing something that they think is right. It also makes the feeling of danger more clear. This lighting also focuses on the bodies of the people which shows what damage they are doing toward eachother.

We are also using Chiaroseuro lighting for this because the same type of thing is going on in this scene as the other scene. We want the lighting to be similar in both enviroments of the room with the band telling the story and the narrative. This is because we want to make it clear that both the band and the narrative are in the same enviroments. Here is an example of Chiaroseuro lighting:
