Mise en scène

 

Mise en scène is an artistic expression used to convey the design aspects of theatre or film production, which translates to "visual theme" or "telling a story". Mise en scène relates to anything shot before a camera and its arrangement which includes: composition, sets, props, actors, costumes, and lighting.

Cardboard sampler/ Maquette

My first sampler of my object is made up of multiple layers to achieve volume. Since i could not find glue instead, i used toothpicks to hold it together. After completing the sampler, i started to see the shape of the switch and got a better idea of how to make the switch functional. As you see, in the second sampler the switch is more developed by more folds and bent ridges resembling an actually light switch.
