Scenic Construction: Evaluation

 

 

Pros:

1. The cut off flats worked well because of how they extended the wall with out the extra cost and time of creating more flats.
2. I thought that the way in which the sinks were fixed together was very quick and looked okay. However I was not aware at the time of construction that the sinks had to be sat on and lent againts. So if I were to make them again I would have done more consultation with the shows director and tired to source stronger joints such as a dove tail joint. However within the time restrictions I could not have done such a complicated joint.


Cons:

1. The sinks worked well for the pourpose and I liked the harmoney of colours I had used dispite the use of mahogany instead of white for the work tops. However if I were to do it again  and if I had more wood I would have made side pannels for the sinks to make them look better.
2. I also did not like the final result for the level of the sinks compared to the pattern on the back I felt that because of the fact i factored in the height of the rostra when painting it.
3. I also felt very rushed through the process of it because I did not have a commited construction parter.  If I were to do it again I would have suggested more people to work on the set and maybe to have planned the full time of the early stages of the unit so I could prepare for construction. For example half way through painting I ran out of spray paint if I had been able to plan more efficiantly between 2 or 3 people this could have been forseen. I also found I had to ask other people to do simple things like holding wood steady so I could cut it more neatly and right on the first time. So I definaly would have needed a more commited constuction team and a more efficiant planning stage.
