Redress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Look up redress in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

In film, a redress is the redecoration of an existing movie set, so that it can double for another set. This saves the trouble and expense of constructing a second set, though they face the difficulty of doing it so the average viewer does not notice the same set is reused. Also there could be logistical problems, such as conflicting shooting schedules, continuity if the set isn't quite the same as it was (if it should be the same) or different (if it should be). The latter problem arises because the set dresser may be unaware of changes created by the action.
