The Canterville Ghost

The Canterville Ghost - Second Year Project
The first project of second year focussed on the short story 'The Canterville Ghost' by Oscar Wilde. The brief of this project was to find and survey to scale a exterior that could be used in the film and then to design the interior sets for a chosen storyboard sequence. 
For the exterior of my set I chose the location Dorney Court in Windsor. I visited and scaled this to used for the exterior of the Canterville House. 
For this project I designed the grand entrance hall, master bedroom and living room/ library. This followed my storyboard sequence strongly giving value as to why I chose the sets I did. Below are a set of hand drawings (at the moment I cannot scan them in, but as soon as this is possible I will change the images).
For the next stage, I created a 1:50 scale model of the exterior and three main rooms. 
Below is the storyboard sequence used to determine my choice of sets, based on the book. 
Finally to complete the project are three sketchup, twilight and photoshop visuals.
