Set Design

For our sets, we decided to have a small amount of props that referenced the era - we decided this as it was more practical for us to have as few props as possible due to having a large number of sets.

For the 50s era, we have:

• a juke box, which will stand in the middle of the frame
• two vintage car cut-outs, which we hope to hang from the lighting frame

These are iconic items from the era, and easily recognisable; for example the televison show Happy Days, that portrayed an idealised version of the mid-50s, which featured a juke box.

For the 70s era, we have:

• a disco ball, which we hope to hang from the lighting frame
• a disco floor, which will be in the middle of the frame

These are referencing Saturday Night Fever, which is a well-known 70s film.

For the 80s era, we have:

• a bench, which will be in the middle of the frame
• (plants)

This is referencing The Breakfast Club, which is a popular 80s film set in a school. The bench is so we can reference the iconic dance scene where two characters shuffle across a beam:

For the 90s era, we have:

• a sofa, which will be in the middle of the frame
• a Central Perk mug
• a coffee table
• boom box

These are referencing the television show F.R.I.E.N.D.S, which was a popular 90s show. The sofa and mug are referencing the iconic coffee shop set.

For the modern era, we have:

• a zebra crossing
• mobile phones

This is referencing technology, which is prevalent in modern times.
