Jodie's Set Design

Hi Jodie!

Please post some pictures of your work in progress.

Good Luck Mrs Lyons

here are some photos of a quick sketch i have done. the tree isnt exactly how i want it but its hard to draw what i want it to look like. so i tried my best. i also want the barbed wire to come up and "strangle" the tree and be connected to the wire fence. but i could not draw that. hope these pictures are ok. i havent built the model box yet because i have been away on a family holiday so i will post come pictures of that when i finish it. picture one: is a drawing of the tree. drawn to scale picture two: is a pecture of the whole stage as a scale drawing.

not the best drawings but it still will give you the idea maybe i hope. i am not really good at the drawing part.

Looking good, Jodie! Just remember with the fence to take into account the way the actors use the stage. You don't want to restrict their movement around the tree and to stage right. I like the hands and the fence strangling the tree idea. Can't wait to see more! Mrs Lyons

hi Mrs Lyons i just wanted to let you know that i have made my model box. it is not yet painted but it is built which is very exciting! i have decided to block off parts of the stage because i felt that the whole stge was too big and a bit restricting. i have decided to put turning walls to block off the stage which will make it easy for set changes. i have also decided to move the tree from stage right to center stage because this gives more area for the actors/actresses to move around and it also is easier for the set changes to occur.

i will take some pictures for you and put them up tonight so you can see what i have done so far.

another idea i had was to put the tree on a box raised above the rest of the stage.this will help me create the space that the actor at the end needs to escape into the pipe that he goes into. do you think that this is a good idea or not because of the whole rural thing? but i was thinking it will be ok because i havent really followd the rural thing to start with. also with the box i want to have the massive tree roots coming out over the box and going down the stage kinda thing if you get what i am saying. the only thing with this is it being a hazard to the actors. i am just didnt want to make it 2D because i think it will lose its affect, if you know what i mean. anyways i will definatley get some photos up for you later tonight =)
