Quick questions on Designing for the set text - OCR A-Level Drama and Theatre Deconstructing Texts paper

Just as a director leads with a concept, a designer leads with an interpretation the design will serve. State what the design world is and what it communicates (for example, "a cold, institutional world of scarcity and surveillance"), then let every discipline express it.

Design lighting as a sequence of states: colour (warm comfort or cold threat), intensity (exposure or concealment), direction and angle (front, side, back, underlight), and changes (fades, snaps, tightening specials) that signal shifts in the action. A snap to a cold special at a turning point tells the audience the world has changed.

Use sound for atmosphere and meaning: source (live or recorded), type (music, effect, underscore), dynamics (volume, entry, cut), and motifs that recur to bind the production. A sustained drone that swells and cuts to silence on a key line can shape the audience's response more than any set.
