What processes do you have to go though to make a theater sets. Also what surface finishes are used?

Question

I'm doing an assay on Theater sets and i was wondering what process the designers and makers have to go though. Like cutting, sanding etc.

I was also wondering if there are any special surface finishes used. Thanks for any info

Answer 1

I'm not sure you question can be answered.

First, I suspect your writing an essay (report) not an assay (valuation).

Next, materials, processes and finishes all depend on what is being created. Sets can vary from curtains and backdrops (fabric, painted to look like a scene) to hard construction (platforms, wall panels called flats, etc). They can be representational and two-dimensional, or attempt to recreate a scene in three dimensions.

There are just so many variables and your question so vague that no simple answer is possible.
