Setting the Scene

Setting the scene was an exhibition located at A.C.M.I featuring original sketches, storyboards and models behind some of cinemas most well known movies. There where a few pieces of work that really impressed me, and one of them was Franz Schrodter versatility in charcoal. With design concepts such as Seven steps-1937, where he gave the drawings a refined, elegant feel, to the other extreme in his designs for the 1927 film Die Grone Pause, where it had a rough and scrappy feel to it. I also liked the digital image designs for Speed racer-2008, which had a lot of detail in it and a good use of lighting and colour which made the picture stand out. The cat in the hat designs, where the house and furniture are distorted and the use of quirky colours, made for a great concept design, which worked really well.
Overall the exhibition was a good wrap up to the day with a variety of concept designs, from the complex model houses in Baz Luhmanns Australia-2008 to the simple pencil sketches of a hut in Ned Kelly-2003, all the designs had played a part in the final outcome of there movies.
