Scaled drawings and renderingsThe Art Director Terry Ackland-Snow suggested that I put the drawings that I have done on the Film Design International course on my web site. Art Directors like to see that the scale drawings can be done. The theory is that we are drafting-out a country house that he has sketched out for us. The period of the film is 1947 though the house itself is Victorian. The drawings show the ground plan and the various details of the set and how it is placed on Sound Stage "B" at Pinewood Studios. Due to limitations of space, the corridor is partially built in false perspective to give the impression that it is longer than it is in reality. The camera projection shows the set as viewed through a 35mm lens with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The drawing is constructed in perspective geometrically with the details drawn freehand thereafter. After the initial drawing was done the set was expanded so that the camera has pulled back and tracked sideways from the original view. (Construction lines have been deliberately left).
