Project Brief
AlJazeera - Tv Studio Design
18-10-2020
Brief Description
Designing a television studio (such as AlJazeera company) that produces news for five years. You may consider what category you will design for in the studio. Taking consideration of sets placement, lighting, and camera sets. Through the designing process, the most important thing is how to show the process visually. You will do an analytical study of the place. Also, it may contain plans, sketches, materials, blocking or circulation of people and cameras, lighting study, infographics.
What and How
Think about the movement of the camera
What is the new technology?
What is the infographic video?
How to analyze the news then break it down to give the viewer/audience the importance of the report.
Think about the black box.
Client
Since its founding in 1996, Al Jazeera's history has been inexorably tied to the world’s major events. In Al Jazeera’s work you can find it all, from the heights of the indomitability of the human spirit to the lows of dictatorship, repression and the abuse of power. For decades Al Jazeera has been pushing the boundaries of free access to information, free thought and free expression in one of the most uncompromising parts of the world. Al Jazeera's newsrooms and bureaus around the world are full of intrepid men and women with stories to tell. Al Jazeera’s journalists have paid the price of trailblazing journalism. Eleven of its war correspondents have been killed on the front lines. One of its journalists was detained in Guantánamo for more than six years. More than one endured depraved torture in Abu Ghraib. For years, it has had its satellite signal scrambled and re-scrambled – and its digital platforms blocked - to make sure that people couldn't watch, read or listen. Countless others in our storied halls have been detained, prosecuted on trumped-up charges, intimidated, banned, forced to leave their home countries forever - even sentenced to death. Some countries have publicly demanded that Al Jazeera itself be shut down. We'll keep on shedding light on the dark corners, and telling the stories that need to be told.

What I Understand from our Professors
-3 to 5 cameras
-infographic
-Movement
-Places for furniture (flexible place/furniture)
-3D modeling (using rhino or Revit or 3dmax)
-We need to have a model of the place
-1to 2 minutes (showing materials / moving of camera)
-It needs to be realistic / What we are seeing?
-Material and light study (part of the film)
-Real object (sofa / reception table/ Wall) construction documents for those objects) only on object1.
-VR elements / you can do it in escape or Revit.
-Process work - binder (with dates)
-You can decide what format you want to present - flat / film / 3d - model to show materials- lighting - placement - people).
-Need to have real measurements of the studio
-Do a narrative story so you can imagine what the poster or video will looks like.
-Research in design (sketches/ floor plan research)
Deliverables
-3D model (any software)
-1-2 minute video
-Light study
-Material study
-3 to 5 cameras
-Movement of cameras
-Construction document for one real object (Sofa, table, desk).
-Infographic
-VR elements
