In the heights initial ideas

On the top deck there is flags from Mexico and the Dominican Republic. These are 2 countries from South America. This resembles the mixed ethnicity of the characters in the play. Pictures Washington Bridge are provided as this bridge is going to be built as it is going to be in the background of the set. Trash cans are very common on the streets of America so we are going to use these cans. The building in the heights are dirty and not looked after so we think that the buildings will have this look.

We get the feel that this is what the set may look like as it has a clear view of Washington Bridge in the back ground

The main part of our set is going to be graffiti. Paint and spray paint will need to be used for this including vibrant colours like green orange and red. These are a few words that we could use however our initial idea is to use the word ‘Rap’ as rap music is used a lot throughout the play. These two images are what we are wanting and expect the graffiti set to look like when we have finished. Graffiti will not occur a lot in the set but we are still including it as the character, ‘Graffiti Pete’ should be symbolized.

These are a few of the materials that we will need for the set. We have aid how much we will need of these materials and where we will get them from on another document. We have also justified a reason as to why we are using these materials. Bin liner, drain pipe, moss, door numbers, ivy, flower boxes, washing line, fire escape.
