Set - Background


For my set, I have simply put two A1 peices of mountboard together - one for the floor and one for the backdrop. I attached them using embroidery and threaded felt leaves onto it so it will fit into the background well and not stand out. Although I have since realised I need to attach two pieces of card to each side as when I tried to photograph the set I couldn't fit it all in the shot without leaving empty spaces at the side.
I used chalk pastels to draw a backdrop as the moon is the focal point of the set, as it emphasises the importance of the sky in this story, and I think pastels are the most effective way of drawing the moon. I struggled with the trees in the foreground but I think by adding pink and red it rally help give them some depth. Though I don't really have to worry about the bottom of the backdrop because I intend to make 3D trees to go in the set.
