Developing the set

For the layout of the set I was inspired by the fact that Malta is an island and I wanted to give the different sectors in the program an island - band area and chat area - two different atmospheres. The program is aimed for youths therfore I wanted to create a nightlife atmosphere in the band area to accompany the music and resemble the night club mood which youths look forward to. The geometrical structure will change the traditional look of the bajtar and adjust to the nightlife mood with coloured lights.
The chat area is a more relaxed section where the presenter interviews the guests. I wanted to make this chat interesting and not always in a sitting position so I designed tall rectangular screens ( inspired from the rectangular windows of the Maltese balcony) which project the artists's work while he is explaining his work to the viewers.
In the centre a repetition of the structure in the band area is used but this will have a more cultural look, with patterns of traditional Maltese floor tiles.

I developed the design further and made it more incorporated removing the the different levels in the chat area and making the platform smaller
