1. This is my final drawing of the flats. At first, I thought of having each flat divided
into two across the centre using a slim plank of wood almost like a skirting
board, painted white, and painting the top half of the flat red and the bottom
white. This was purely for aesthetic reasons as the contrast between the
colours looked good. However, when I created a small prototype to test this idea
it look longer than expected and was quite messy and complicated to measure
out the markings. Because of this, I decided to instead paint the entirety of the
flats bright red and then add white LX tape around the edges to create a sporty
look whist including the main colour scheme of the show – red and white.

2. This is the finished product. As you can see, there are more than three flats
across the back like my design specifies. This is because the staging is longer
than I anticipated when I drew my sketch, so we added 4 more flats to fit the size
of the staging correctly. As there are different levels of staging, the flats form a
symmetrical pattern which looks aesthetically pleasing. It was very important that
continuity ran throughout the set so that it looked as professional and realistic as
possible.
