The Film Boutique was the Applied Design Theory project of my third year at university. We were allowed to do almost whatever we wanted as long as there was a cinema within the scheme. I liked the idea of my cinema showing arthouse films and so I based my design on two French arthouse films; Amelie and Coco Before Chanel. I liked the differences between the two designs of the films. Amelie used warm colours, patterned wallpaper and homely furniture. I used this type of design for the entrance lounge, and dining areas of my scheme. Coco Before Chanel used a monochrome design and the furniture was quite simple. I used this for the cinema half of my scheme. I tied the two designs together by having 'teasers' on the walls where the opposing design would bleed through and 'slices' where the opposing design would cut through. There was also a small gap between the two designs which you could only see as you passed from one to the other. In this space, I placed boxes that glowed either white or pink to represent which side you where going into.
