Set design and prop brainstorming

 SET DESIGN IDEAS

Our vision for our set still has a few details that need to be adjusted, but one thing has been determined for sure: a solid white room.

We want our character to be in a place on Earth that doesn’t feel like it’s Earth. This solid white room will give an uneasy and almost out-of-place sensation to our audience. We have elaborated on ideas of whether or not we would incorporate a few objects into the room to add to the storyline. If we decide to move forward with this idea, then each object would have significance to the main character’s life (or their sins throughout life they are being judged for). Since this is only a film opening, that plot twist of the object’s significance will never be revealed, but would still create an eerie feel to the scenery. 

The design for the room would appear like one used for a certain type of torture called “white room torture” which is meant to psychologically deprive your sensory devices and your sense of identity. The idea of purgatory is a type of torture, being held in a room of uncertainty that could either send you to unforsaken doom or endless paradise. We wanted to incorporate this uncertainty to our set to keep our audience on the edge of their seat, almost confused as to what will come next or how this individual ended up in this situation.
