Why do you need a set designer?

To meet with a set designer, means to describe to them or provide them with an idea of the setting and style you desire for a video. It is an extremely crucial and important process of 'music video making' because it's what gives your video a genre and star image. We have drawn out a whole idea of the atmosphere and look of our music video's setting, and the set designer will take those ideas and bring them to life. He will put together each color, prop and piece of furniture in order to create the look we what. A set designer creates an environment in which a story tale takes place, whether it be naturalistic or completely abstract, forming something out of a stimulus provided.

Tomorrow at 3, my group will be meeting with a set designer to discuss our shoot. So today we have been finalizing everything we intend to discuss with the designer and Luke tomorrow. Last week during our meeting about sound, they warned us about how much attention to detail we will need to include on our designs. So since then we have been focusing on each image of all of our props, and now we know where we are getting a few of the props, which is great progress.

One of the many difficulties my group might face is by following a Wes Anderson colour palette, so we will need to discuss this tomorrow about these complications.
