This is the model of the entire stage that the set designer has produced. This is what everybody who was building and constructing the set had to refer to to ensure continuity throughout.

My design for Stage Right upper tier (based on ideas from GC2: Ideas, Drawings & Idea Justification:

Balcony railings

Large bricks to distinguish between apartments

Crescent shaped window with bricks forming a

pattern on top for aesthetics

Washing line for a sense of realism

Hanging basket for a sense of realism

Fire escape to capture the image of a typical

Manhattan apartment

Crescent shaped window to create continuity on the

set

Overall collective sketch for Stage Right upper tier:This is the final sketch design that we collectively came up with as a group. We have taken

individual ideas from each person’s individual sketch.

Ivy to make the buildings seem

Although we worked in a team to create the whole of Upper Stage Right, we each had a specific piece of scenery from that area that we were responsible for producing. This is my final individual design for a specific flat on Stage Right. It’s labelled “T2” because it is on the top tier of the set and the 2nd flat along. The measurements of the flat are: 1.22m wide x 1.9m high. The colour of the flat is “Wholemeal” brown because we wanted to achieve a run-down look using dark, earthy colours. The whole set is to be painted in these colours because continuity is important in making the set look as professional as possible.

Bottom of the fire escape. The top of the fire escape continues on the first flat. This will be made out of wood and then painted black to look authentic and dirty.

Patterned bricks. This is purely to add character to the building and this pattern continues along the whole of Stage Right Upper Tier – again continuity is very important in order to look professional. These will be made out of polystyrene to give a rough 3D texture and then painted brown to look like a brick.

Ivy from the window. This is to make the building look aged. We will source ivy from the props cupboard.

Netted curtain. This is to make the apartment look aged and make it look as though an elderly person lives there – in the script, the Grandmother lives in this apartment.
