I have darkened the the set by dry brushing grey onto the textured gesso surface of the arches. By darkening the side more I aim and hope to make the transition between stage and black tab more camouflaged, therefore making the space look like it goes one endlessly either side.
I need to make the columns the same colour and need to make the skulls withered.
I have played around with mirror at either side of the stage to see whether I can make it appear like a vast amount of space. This is still in concept and may or may not be the correct and final thing I choose.
Although I originally thought that a lighter background would bold best for bright colourful costumes based around the 1930's era I feel that having a darker, but muted set still allows for the attention to be drawn in on the costumes.
I am currently working on a back flat, something to close of the set from the back of the stage. At the moment I am thinking of having large church like windows, inspired from my earlier research. However I am not sure whether I need to further impact on the idea of persecutive by only having one window in the centre arch, or whether to have three large windows.
