Production Design – Third Year – Teammate : Inès Le François
The goal was to analyze architecture and production design in cinema. The project was to invent a scenario of a scary story and imagine the production design set for the film. We created our scenario with different literary references, like Lovecraft, Poe etc. We then decided on the location, time, protagonists, etc. Then we made mood-board and research about architecture of that time (1900’s chapel and house from 16-17 century), place (Brittany, France), and furnitures (countryside style, Louis XIII-XV style, wood, heavy). Taking place in a reconverted chapel we designed the set divided in three different spaces, allowing a gradation of atmospheres. Slowly going to the most dreary and important space. We then did the 1/50 realistic model, and photographed it as a movie set.
