Question

6. Choose one scene from the film Singin' in the Rain and design a theatre set for this scene. Describe the scenery

Answer 1

Answer:Well, the scene i’m choosing is: Cosmo singing “Make em Laugh”.(My personal favorite.) I envision the stage. It has random props set all around it. But there are specific ones, including: a door with a wall, a couch, and a plush mannequin. The scenery would just be the curtains, or maybe a backdrop of a film stage. I imagine the couch on upstage center, and then the door downstage, stage right. The plush mannequin would be on the couch (like in the movie.) It would be the same props they use in the movie(basically). I would use Hard stage lighting, with a Three-point lighting setup. This would help add to the“backstage”/”off the set” feeling of the scene. The costuming would be the exact same as the movie. The actor that would be playing

Cosmo, would wear a blue button-up shirt, brown pants, and a light brown bowler hat. So, since this scene is so easily mimicable onstage, the cost and historical accuracy wouldn’t be hard to match. The mobility of the objects would not be a problem either, seeing as all the props are pretty easily movable.
