In conclusion to this project, I have really enjoyed exploring ideas and methods surrounding the theme of World War one.
I have learnt lots of new techniques and processes which will help with my future work.
In terms of my props, I think that they fit the brief in aiming for realism. I tried to adapt/ make these items as close as I could to the real thing, keeping in mind the lecture we had with Chris at the beginning of the project about how Realism is without embellishment or interpretation etc.
I think that experimenting with a mock up lid for the Queen Mary tin paid off as this helped me eliminate errors to make my final tin as best as it could be. If I was to make this again however, I would experiment with different ways of making it (vacuum form/ casting & moulding) to get an even more realistic finish.
The Teddy Bear went well, however I feel that if I had more time I would experiment with different ways of ageing it to give a more realistic feel. I also thought once I had finished whether it would be possible for the audience to see the ageing from far away as this is a prop for theatre. This is something I have to consider more with my work in the future.
