- Choose a building to recreate in miniature (e.g. a house, shed,
school building, shop). Draw a plan for the miniature, showing
one or more views. With your plan, includes notes that explain:
- what the scale of the miniature will be
- what materials you will use
- who will build it (what roles the group members will have)
- how long it will take to complete
- how much it will cost
- how the miniature will overcome the limitations of a full-sized
set that the class listed before
- what problems you expect, if any.
- Carry out your plan.
- Present and assess your work.
Extension:
- Find out how real actors are filmed against miniature sets.
- Think about how to use your finished miniatures to make an effective
visual display. Make a storyboard of shots that combine the miniature
with real actors. If possible, film the shots.

You might want to limit the type or cost of materials that can
be used and/or the time for construction. Possible materials: balsa wood, cardboard, shoeboxes, papier mâché,
clay, polystyrene, acrylic paint. (Note that spray paint cannot
be used on polystyrene.) |
