1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.520
So the next portion that we cover is something called a formality scale, and formality, as

2
00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:10.000
I mentioned, like density, is a storyteller tool.

3
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.920
If you look on page 13, formality, we give a 1 to 5 scale.

4
00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:20.800
One is very rustic, very raw, organic, vegan, you know, maybe you're using nothing but natural

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:25.720
materials, recyclable, you're bringing in potted plants and potted things because they're

6
00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:27.680
going to go be planted somewhere.

7
00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:32.000
All the way up to 5, which is formal, if you're hosting a white tie or a black tie

8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.400
benefit, maybe you're hosting a board this year, whatever it is.

9
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:41.600
So what we like to do is to create a formality scale, and again, using it as a storyteller

10
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.880
tool when you're looking at the big picture.

11
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.800
If you look on page 14, each room is going to have a sheet, and this is something you

12
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:52.200
can print out copies of.

13
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.600
In the next portion, I'm going to talk to you about execution, but each room is going

14
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:02.280
to have a name, an M number or a mapping number, the number of colors or a C number,

15
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:07.480
a density number or a D number, and a formality number or an F number.

16
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.800
These schedules are incredibly useful, especially if you're working on a large scale project.

17
00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:17.200
If you are tackling a series of rooms, more than five rooms, let's say you're tackling

18
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:28.120
12 to 15 rooms, what I want you to do is to develop your story in 3, 5, or 7 room increments.

19
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:32.360
That's the best way to tackle a very large scale project without having it get overwhelming.
