AFTER EXPLORING VARIOUS MOTIFS AND DESIGNS TAKEN FROM THE SET DESIGN OF BAJIRAO MASTANI, I MOVED ON TOWARDS IDEATING THEM THROUGH SKETCHING AND ALSO BY USING DIFFERENT MATERIAL.!

                SOME EXPLORATIONS TOWARDS THE                                                     SWATCHES

So,as we enter the 2nd phase of module 3 i was in a deep thought that what can be the essence of 'set design of bajirao mastani' and i landed upon an option which is magnificent!

After that i started working on how can i present it. The pictures above are a faint idea of what am i going to do with my theme i.e magnificent, which includes the ideas from my visual book and a lot of inspiration from my boards.

The collage includes some of he pictures which inspired me to create different ideas!

AND now i hope that i will come up with something very different and MAGNIFICENT.!

                                           MOOD BOARD

       

Sets of bajirao mastani depict a very majestic grandeur and luxurious lifestyle 

during the time of bajirao(peshwa). So all the luxurious  and grand sets of

bajirao mastani depict royality.! 

Purple is the colour that symbolises royality,

 also velvet and silk are considered royal fabrics

 All the pictures i have in my mood board  

are a part of royal lifestyle- like the crown,chandeliars, palace.

And also the royal rides of elephant and camels.!

       THEME,LOOK AND STYLE OF BAJIRAO MASTANI

                          We started the research twelve years back, we came to know that the film is not happening, but later when we came to know that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is making the film, we had to go and approach him, he asked us to show some of our work and he was happy with us. The pre production work to the day we wrapped, it was almost 19 months. We had 19 art assistant directors working, including us the team consists of architects, designers, artist for sketching, props and we had a very good system in place.

 We have succeeded as the production designer as the film looks one. Certain tone was set for the entire film, we used raw fabrics, malmal, Velvet jute, cotton, we customized colour, all the props were made by us. Handmade textures & motifs were used for walls.

 

         Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to treat his audiences to extravagant and colourful sets, luxurious costumes and melodious songs, and the producer/director's magnum opus "Bajrao Mastani" is no different.

Over 20,000 intricately designed mirrors have been used to put the set together. Special karigars from jaipur were summoned to work on the embedding of the mirrors to maintain authenticity. The massive set measures 12,500 sq feet. What’s even more awe inspiring is that one angle of the frame reflects in the 20,000 mirrors.

The grand magnificent set which was built for the ‘Deewani Mastani‘ track from ‘Bajirao Mastani‘ is the grandest thing for director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The track seems inspired by ‘Mughal-E-Azam‘ and its classic song ‘Jab Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya‘.

                                                       SET DESIGN INTRODUCTION

I think Set Design is an important part of almost any theatre production as almost every show will utilise some sort of set,however minimal.
                                                                        Sets can be abstract,realistic or anything in between,and they are a chance of a designer to showcase interesting concepts,new techniques and unusual material.

The set design will ultimately define how the film looks on screen. the use of space, volume,light,colour and texture. Set Design supports and strengthens the story and characters.

 DURING RESEARCH.!
