After spending another day in the studio struggling over this set box, I decided to get the advice of one of the tutors. Paul and Joel looked at the sets that I was making and similar to my peers seemed baffled by my attempts to make the set and use maths as a solution. Paul talked through how the set does not necessarily need to be technically sound as it would need to be for an actual set design. Instead, I should focus on making the set wide enough and able to present the paper cut people I had made. He also suggested that I have a flat backdrop and the sea to be a continuation of the slanted flooring. Taking on his advice I made another set and this time it was much more straightforward to make.
These are the results....
I am very gutted that I have wasted so much time on something that probably could have been resolved last week if I had asked for advice from the tutors. However, by spending time on this it has made me aware of the making process of these sets and materials to use. It is important that I remember that I AM AN ILLUSTRATOR and an Illustrator's work will usually result in a printed image. Therefore I should spend more time worrying about the visuals rather than the structure of the set itself.
