Our Room

Along with Shade, Delainey, Rasaq and Alfie, I am in charge of designing and creating our hero Stanley's room. We have many ides we want to put into the room, here are some:

Furniture:

Our idea consists of simple furnishings, a small bed mattress, a single wooden chair along with a basic table for writing. The possibility of having shelving or draws so we can put things like razors and washing items.

Props:

As Stanley is a rebel this has to be shown very carefully in his room. Not in an obvious fashion so our idea was to have a journal on his desk full of his writing saying how much he hates big brother and how much he wants things to change. We also wanted things like empty whiskey bottles and cigarettes as in he book it mentions both of this items as things Stanley (Winston in the book) would have a lot of. The bottles are possible but we later found out it would be impossible for us too have cigarettes on the set.

Multimedia:

Our multimedia ideas consist of using sound and projection. We will have created a sound effect for both the room and the radio in Stanley's room,giving it a more live in effect. Also we will create an exercise video which Stanley will follow in the performance. Most of these ideas we got from the viewing of 1984.
