Complete Target: Neon Cube

Based off our feedback, we realised that creating a neon ball would be too difficult to build and would take time off the shoot day. Additionally, the maximum sphere size that could be built would not be our ideal size and wouldn’t be big enough for the artist to perform inside. We began discussing how we could modify this element without losing the main idea of the singer caged within the ‘light’ tubes. 



To make the sphere we would have needed special built curved neon tubes.


Therefore we decided to use straight light tubes, this will make the building process easier, cheaper and quicker. 



Thus the ‘Neon’ light sphere has been changed into a ‘Neon’ cube.  Building a cube will make things much more practical and is realistically possible, against our time and budget. In addition, the cube will allow more space for the artist to perform in and to interact with.



The artist will be singing in the cube, the light (neon) tube will be a light blue colour. She will be moving around and performing in it. We will shoot it in two different lighting techniques. The first one will be in a room with no light, and only the light from the cube will make her visible. The second will be in a lit room, we thought of using a pink (filter) gels on the lights. Throughout the entire sequence of the room with no light and light, she will be wearing the crop top with the white mesh skirt. When the room is lit, we will have a fan blow her skirt, so that it moves in the air; this will make the shot even more dramatic .




These changes have allowed us to preserve the initial idea and the basic imagery we would like to convey; meanwhile making the construction of this element easier.
