Dark background suits palace/ancient/luxury; cream suits modern/clean/museum-catalog. **Typography**: - Header in elegant serif uppercase - Section labels in tiny serif caps - Prop labels in tiny serif caps below each item **Header (top strip, 3-column)**: - LEFT: "SET DRESSING SHEET" in small caps serif - CENTER: Large elegant serif uppercase "[LOCATION NAME] DECOR & PROPS" - RIGHT: Project title (small serif), optional scene info below **Row 1** — 4 equal mood cells of the dressed location: 1. INTERIOR MOOD — full wide of the fully dressed space 2. ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL — close on a relief, column, carving, or signature architectural feature 3. CEREMONIAL OBJECTS — still life of key ritual or signature props grouped together 4. TEXTILES & FURNISHINGS — cushions, drapes, rugs, soft furnishings detail Labels in tiny serif caps below each cell. **Row 2 LEFT (~40% width)** — Large hero interior shot: - Dressed space with all key props in place - Cinematic mood lighting (practicals visible) - Reveals the spatial relationship of furniture and decor **Row 2 RIGHT (~60% width)** — PROP DETAILS grid (6 columns x 3 rows = 18 isolated cells): - Each prop isolated on neutral background with subtle drop shadow - Captioned in tiny serif caps below each item - Section header "PROP DETAILS" at top in elegant serif caps **Bottom strip (full width)** — Color + Material palette: - 10-11 swatches mixing solid colors and material textures - Captioned in tiny serif caps below each swatch - Examples: aged bronze, hammered gold, dark clay, cedar brown, reed tan, linen ivory, lapis blue, carnelian red, smoke black, torch amber --- ## REQUIRED PROPS / SET DRESSING FIELDS When filling this template, define and lock the following: - **LOCATION NAME**: [where these props belong] - **ERA / SETTING**: [date or fictional era] - **MOOD / EMOTIONAL TONE**: [what feeling this dressed space produces] - **KEY ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE**: [signature element — relief, column, fireplace, screen] - **CEREMONIAL OBJECTS** (5-7 hero props): [list with materials, sizes, significance] - **TEXTILES & FURNISHINGS**: [cushions, rugs, drapes, banners — materials and patterns] - **PROP LIST (18 items for the grid)**: [each with material, color, function] - **COLOR & MATERIAL PALETTE (10-11 swatches)**: [hex codes plus texture descriptors] - **CHEKHOV OBJECTS** (story-significant props): [which props will be used in the plot] - **LIGHTING ON PROPS**: [direction, color, intensity] --- ## RULES FOR USING THIS TEMPLATE 1. Use box-drawing characters for the ASCII layout. 2. Keep all 4 mood cells equal width with consistent lighting. 3. Hero shot occupies ~40% of the second row; PROP DETAILS grid occupies ~60%. 4. PROP DETAILS grid is exactly 6 columns x 3 rows = 18 cells. 5. Each prop isolated on neutral background — no overlapping items. 6. Materials palette strip spans full width at the bottom with 10-11 swatches. 7. Background can be warm dark (palace/ancient/luxury) or cream (museum/clean/modern). The label typography follows the piece's register: the serif lettering above is the default, and a children's piece takes a rounded sans. 8. Same lighting style across all 4 mood cells and all 18 prop cells. 9. Group thematically — ceremonial together, textiles together, weapons together. --- ## FILLED EXAMPLE (generic Victorian study, fillable) ``` ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ SET DRESSING SHEET VICTORIAN STUDY DECOR & PROPS THE LAST DETECTIVE║ ║ LONDON 1888 ║ ╠═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌────────────────┐ ┌────────────────┐ ┌────────────────┐ ┌────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ wide of study │ │ carved oak │ │ ink well, │ │ velvet drapes,│ ║ ║ │ fireplace lit │ │ fireplace │ │ pocket watch, │ │ Persian rug, │ ║ ║ │ desk centered │ │ mantle and │ │ brass scales, │ │ leather chair │ ║ ║ │ │ │ marble │ │ letter opener │ │ │ ║ ║ └────────────────┘ └────────────────┘ └────────────────┘ └────────────────┘ ║ ║ INTERIOR MOOD ARCHITECT.
