Investigation Blog Post: 2/13

When filming or doing any kind of show, the set that it is taking place on is very important. Not only to the actors/actresses, but to the audience watching the show. It sets the mood, and creates a high level of imagination and perspective. Take the Hamilton stage, for instance. It never changes, yet it is neutral and can fit in any scenario. A part, that adds a cool effect, is the rotating center, where it helps the idea of walking, running, circling, etc. It adds to the emotions.

In the next set piece, it is something from Squid Games. I had binged this series a while back, and always thought it was interesting on all the little details they had. As I watched behind the scenes, and read up on more details- I learned that the little town scene (above), was handmade, and there was no CGI involved. Even the walls that they used for this scene, (As well as the Red Light, Green Light game) were set up around the set, adding the effect of being caged in.
