Film Room Project Evaluation 1

The first step of our film room project is to select a film scene and room that we feel, as a group, would be the most appropriate scene to replicate in the project. I put forward three suggestions.

My first idea was the cottage from the opening scene of Quentin Taratino's Inglorious Bastards. Tarantino is well know for making full use of his sets and moving around with the camera, so right off the bat this scene makes a lot of sense as it would be easy to get a good feel of the entire space, compared to other scenes where the camera limits what we can see, and therefore, recreate accurately. This scene also uses some effectively drmatic lighting, highlighting objects and spaces of relevence.

The Griffindor Common Room from the Harry Potter series was another suggestion I put forward, due to the way the room comes together with its colour theming. The warm golds and reds of the room, with a fireplace as the focus create a very homely feel that would be engaging as a 3D environment. The assests, as well, would be fairly simple to create without too much fiddling or difficulty. The only issue would be with the very pattern-heavy textures. The brick walls would give some interesting oppourtunities to work with PBR, which I have yet to learn.

The bat from Kingsman: The Secret Service would also be a strong option. An action sequence takes place here, allowing the team a broad scope of the room. In terms of how 'do-able' the room is as well, the chairs and tables allow for a few assets to be made and still allow us to fill the room well, leaving time for extra details like glasses or posters. We'd also be able to focus on the interior due to the frosted windows, and not waste time on a skybox. That said, the lighting from the windows creates a dynamic look for the room that would be engaging to explore in a 3D environment.
