My name is Mélia Frappier, I’m 19 years old. I'm in my 2nd year for my degree in scenography at Laplace High School in Caen, France.
If we ask my entourage to describe me, everybody agree to say that I’m somebody organised and efficient, applied and sometimes perfectionist. But I'd like to add that I'm really passionate and curious about everything around me, I like to discover new things, and I love making progress.
Throughout my life, I’ve had the opportunity to discover many activities and some of them really passionate me. I tried a lot of sports and, most important for me, I started playing theatre at 11. First, I started taken class in middle school, and then, I join a real theatre company. During those four years in middle school, I played eight theatre play. This passion gave me the wish to become an actress. But when I entered high school, I integrate a boarding school and I didn’t have any more time to play. Little by little, my dream stepped away. That’s when I started to dive into watching films while simultaneously discovering crafts and design during classes. It made me realised that I could combine all of my passions by creating props and sets, in the world of theatre and cinema.
During those high school years and thanks to the confinement, I got interested in the universe of the cinema industry. And my childhood dream evolved: I aim at creating and building sets and props to be able to share universes and personalities. Telling a story starting from a set as simple as a garage, it’s the reason I love Wes Anderson’s films. I like the idea that when you go in a bedroom you can discover who it belong to, just like Sherlock Holmes. And it’s also possible outside of cinema, like in a commercial vitrine where it need to give off an attractive atmosphere. That’s what motives me in my research and my creations, each thing is important and share something to the spectators.
