Production: Colour Scheme for Set Design

On my theatre film set, I am happy with the colours I chose for the set and characters costumes. The colours for the set were a mixture of orange, red, brown and green. The choice to use sofas from the canteen was a good idea because the colour of the sofa which was black, stood out against the brown wooden background and orange curtain.

The props such as the pillows and rug were borrowed from a friend where she purchased the items at Yellow Sunrise in the Corn Exchange. I also purchased a large table cloth spread to match the rest of the set and use on the white tables I borrowed from the canteen.

I chose the colours the characters would wear based on their personalities. I had Ronke wear outfits that were a little high maintenance, while Aje wore casual outfits because her personality was less outgoing and the friend was told to wear neutral colours such as grey, blue and black. The theatre itself had black curtains so I did not need to think about any colours clashing. My aim was to make sure the characters stood out from the set but also complimented it, I thought that when I would apply the colour grading tones then it would bring the whole look together.
