So the next portion that we cover is something called a formality scale, and formality, as
I mentioned, like density, is a storyteller tool.
If you look on page 13, formality, we give a 1 to 5 scale.
One is very rustic, very raw, organic, vegan, you know, maybe you're using nothing but natural
materials, recyclable, you're bringing in potted plants and potted things because they're
going to go be planted somewhere.
All the way up to 5, which is formal, if you're hosting a white tie or a black tie
benefit, maybe you're hosting a board this year, whatever it is.
So what we like to do is to create a formality scale, and again, using it as a storyteller
tool when you're looking at the big picture.
If you look on page 14, each room is going to have a sheet, and this is something you
can print out copies of.
In the next portion, I'm going to talk to you about execution, but each room is going
to have a name, an M number or a mapping number, the number of colors or a C number,
a density number or a D number, and a formality number or an F number.
These schedules are incredibly useful, especially if you're working on a large scale project.
If you are tackling a series of rooms, more than five rooms, let's say you're tackling
12 to 15 rooms, what I want you to do is to develop your story in 3, 5, or 7 room increments.
That's the best way to tackle a very large scale project without having it get overwhelming.
