Production Design Inspiration

Since I’m currently in the process of devising a shot list, I’m also starting to think about production design.  I’m drawing inspiration from a few of my favorite films and directors.  Pedro Almodovar has a unique style and look to his films and loves the color of a deep, rich red.  There is a specific look I want to portray in my short that will help push the mood further.

Because my character is a modern-day hermit who is stuck in her past, I’ve adopted a nostalgic look to reflect that.  She’s a young woman who yearns to travel again, but is stifled by her fear.  In regards to production design, I’m planning to purchase a couple of vintage-looking travel posters from Etsy.  Also, because Anna Dreyfus (the main character) is so focused on time, I’ll also be purchasing retro/vintage clocks.

The look of the interior is very important.  Personally, I love patterns, Spanish and Dutch tiles, etc and will reflect that on set.  I’ve found cheap wallpaper online and will use them throughout the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom scenes.  Screen Shot 2014-09-19 at 12.17.15 PMScreen Shot 2014-09-19 at 12.55.27 PM
