Building the set 1

Once we ha the designs for our set sorted and finalized we were run through set building by Henry. He showed us that in order to actually build a set from your blueprints you first had to have a clear idea of your measurements. For instance, if a room was 10x10 foot square each wall would be 10 foot in length so then you must look at what materials are being used. In this case we had 8x4 hardwood as our flat facades so we had to build corresponding frames to match thes sizes obviously trimming down the hardwood as and when required. This effectively turns each wall of the original design into a series of framed boards that fit together in blocks to create complete walls.
