Designing Theatre: The Comedy of Errors

Set and costume designer Bunny Christie explains the process of designing a show for the theatre. Using her sketchbook and model box for The Comedy of Errors as examples, she shows how a designer works to translate a director’s interpretation of a play into a visual world for the production.
Teachers at UK schools can show The Comedy of Errors and other NT productions in their classroom for free - visit nationaltheatre.org.uk/schools to find out how.

If your question is write 5 pieces of advice then the answer is :
A. Be creative with limited resources
B. Drawing takes too time so just built the model
C. making a grid makes it easer
d. design teams look at the whole production
e. looking through other movies, films and plays.

Why is it important to consider everything that is put on stage and seen by the audience?
What does Bunny Christie (Designer for the National Theatre, UK) suggest you write down about each scene before you start designing?
What does Bunny Christie do for research when starting a new design?
What is the difference between drawn stage designs and model sets?
I NEED ANSWERS PLEASE

[@andywr.097]

ok 1) to get budget since the audience is expecting something marvellous 2) to write down a grid into a notebook and work methodically; consider the time or place the play is set in 3) she researches past films and photographs 4) model sets are physical 3D structures, and you can picture it being the real set and experiment whereas drawn stage designs are non-3D and the only way to alter it is to use a rubber
