Set design, lighting and props

This set design would work well for the broom cupboard in 'Gotcha' as it's reasonably long and enclosed, giving it a smaller and more intimte feel. For example, for when the student and pe teacher are getting up close and personal the audience gets a real feel for the emotions and testosterone flowing through the words. I would also be changing the lighting to match the mood switches so for example, for a smoother and more relaxing feel I would make the lighting yellow and not to harsh, it would also be dispersed using a diffuser. Whereas in the more passionate moment such as angry moments, the lighting eould be concentrated on the involved characters and maybe a harsh red colour to show the intense emotions in the scene.

At times i'd have different sounds such as the creak of floorboards and such for tense and quiet scenes to add effects of tension and play on the audiences mind for how lonely they are in the school. I would also have the sound effects of loud children and bustling people for the effect of how surrounded yet lonely they are. For props I would have the kid in a sruffy old looking school uniform, the pe teacher would be in the typical polo shirt and shorts, whilst the science teacher would simply be in a skirt and blouse and finally the head teacher would be in a suit and tie. I would want the kid to be wearing greyscale clothing to show that he is faded out and forgotten about, simply blending into the background. As the director i would like this to add the effect of being lost and unknown in a crowded school.
