Presentation and discussions

Today we had our presentation, expressing our ideas and imagery to Andy and Simon so they know what we are going to make. We had a few previous discussions about how the rooms should look. We decided to slpit the group in half so that one half had responsibilty of the living room, and the other half had responsibility of Gregors room. We picked them randomly and i chose the living room. I did want to be a part of creating Gregors room but i think we can make something quite extraordinary in the living room. We decided firstly that the door way should be in the centre of the room, we thougth about incorporating a fire place into it somehow. The doorway will act as the main piece of the living room that has the existence of gregor on it so decaying walls and cracks will be created around the door to show that creepiness inside his room is starting to spread. I thought about having the living room at the front and gregors room joining on the back so that the only way you can see his room is by walking through the living room and through the door. I started to look at Czech architecture as the story was set in Prague so i have been looking at how the house may have been designed. I will also look into the furniture at the time so that it will work well in the room. The colours that will be used in the living room will look quite deteroriated, like it is peeling away, like an eggshell look or mixtures of greens, blues and reds that will look faded due to time. The living room will look lived in like a normal family home but will have elements of the weird and strange that would have seeped in from gregors room. Im looking forward to getting started.
