| Abstract | ||||
| Nagaa Almawta is a novel written by Dr.Hussein Al-Sayed,released in 2016,the events take place in an imaginary framework in Upper Egypt,and it deals with the horror related to the opening of the ancient egyptian tombs,and local myths in a contemporary reality that responds to these myths. The research aims to focus on scenic design for movies at the local level, through different media and by exploiting the effect of the natural environment on the design, the researcher has chosen the novel and designed some of its important sites through several media, including designing sites at a scale 1:1 and through another medium, using the miniature model,then filming it and compositing it,as one of the problems facing filmmakers is that when it is necessary to obtain a natural site with certain specifications that correspond to the script,the real site is depicted but it doesn’t meets dramatic requirements. The researcher relied on the historical,descriptive,an analytical methodology, and through the research and designs that she developed,she reached several results,the most important of which are:Commitment to the design stages necessary to to reach the final form of the design before the final implementation,and the abundance of resources and references.Which can be used to simulate the reality that appears on the screen,the most important of which are:the natural environment and the ancient Egyptian civilization,miniatures and their digital integration has a great role in scenic design for movies due to the tremendous potential it provides in obtaining the spatial specifications required for the locations of events. | ||||
