Design Analysis: The Still Alarm

Design Analysis: The Still Alarm

List all the entrance/exits that the script mentions as necessary since they are used or talked about:

You will need to have all these in your design.

•Door from hallway

•Door to next room

•Window (s) one must be practical

•Door to closet

•Door to bathroom

List any other doors/openings it might make sense to find in a hotel room

•Door to balcony (maybe sliding glass door)

You, as the designer can choose to include these or not.

List all furniture mentioned in the script and necessary to the set design.

•Bed, probably double bed •Table –to spread plans on

•Dresser –to get shirts from

•Chair – Bob sits

•Night stand –for phone

List other possible furniture pieces/architectural features you might find in a hotel room and therefore could choose to include in your scene design.

Remember, whatever you choose to include or omit must serve the story before it does anything else…

•Another chair •Luggage stand

•Television

•Floor lamp

•Overstuffed chair

What architectural styles might fit this sort of high rise city hotel room?

Using the information you have thought about and listed above, on the back of this page or any unlined piece of paper, draw an elevation of what you think the

hotel room should look like.

It does not have to be in scale, I just want you to put down on paper how your conception of the set might look.

Probably eitherold and elegant or art deco

ormore likely for a businessman,

modernbut not too chic or expensive

Now you are ready to draw an overhead view… almost.
