Design Analysis: The Still Alarm List all the entrance/exits that the script mentions as necessary since they are used or talked about: • Door from hallway You will need to have all these in your design. • Door to next room • Window (s) one must be practical List any other doors/openings it might make sense to find in a hotel room • Door to closet You, as the designer can choose to include these or not. • Door to bathroom • Door to balcony (maybe sliding glass door)
List all furniture mentioned in the script and necessary to the set design. • Bed, probably double bed • Table –to spread plans on • Night stand –for phone • Dresser –to get shirts from • Chair – Bob sits List other possible furniture pieces/architectural features you might find in a hotel room and therefore could choose to include in your scene design. • Another chair • Luggage stand • Television • Overstuffed chair • Floorlamp Remember, whatever you choose to include or omit must serve the story before it does anything else…
What architectural styles might fit this sort of high rise city hotel room? Probably either old and elegant or art deco or more likely for a businessman, modern but not too chic or expensive 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. Now you are ready to draw an overhead view… almost.
