Set Design
Setting Present day post injury
- A outdoor basketball gym- mostly empty
- Score Boards blinking- stuck at the 10 sec, mirroring his flashbacks trauma
- Benches visible in the background, but out of focus his world is centered in the hoop
- Dust floating in the air, visible under the light beams, adding texture to the scene
Setting Flashback scene pre injury scene
- Fully lit Gymnasium
- Crowd in the bleachers, but slightly blurred to keep focus on Mateo perspective
- Shiny freshly painted court, contrasting with the scuffed one in the present day scene
- Scoreboard actively counting down, fully of energy and motion
Lighting Design
Present day
- Single overhead light focusing on Mateo-isolating him
- Deep shadows on the floor- adding a sense of weight and pressure
- Slight flickering from the scoreboard light -subtle visual cue that time and past failures hunt him
Flashback
- Even, natural light throughout the gym- war and energetic
- Bright scoreboard glowing- reinforces the excitement and stakes
- Golden hue inn the lighting- symbolizes nostalgia, the way we remember the past as better that it was
By using this different set and lighting, I can be able to create a emotional contrast between Mateo past glory and present struggles, visually reinforcing his character journey
