Thea 103 1st Edition Lecture 7 Outline of Last Lecture I. Screws/Bolts, Rigging, Locks and HingesOutline of Current Lecture I. Drafting overviewII. Types of LinesIII. Complete pack of scenic draftingCurrent LectureI. Drafting overviewa. Doesn’t matter whether you use CAD or handsketch, just needs to be clear. Be clear and legible. Follow established conventions.b. Start with Orthographic projection (a way of representing a 3d object in two dimensions using multiple views). Use plan views (top and bottom) as well as side views.II. Types of lines and how to represent thema. Border: thick double lineb. Plaster line: thin dashed linec. Centerline: thin line of short-long-short with a note of CL near lower edge. Not necessarily the center of the auditorium, designer sets it.d. Section: uniform hatching on diagonal linese. Leader line: a thin solid line with or without an arrow at the endf. Dimension/extension line: a thin lineg. Break Line: a thin line that extends beyond the edges of the breakIII. Complete pack of scenic drafting includes:a. Sketch: give an idea or impressionb. Ground plan or Light Plot: Both plan a view of the stage and show theatre architecture (proscenium arch, plaster line, smoke pocket, etc) Most important thing on either of these drawings is the CENTERLINE. Which is the only way to measure right and left. The PLASTER LINE is the reference for all upstage and downstage measurements. c. Scenic ground plan should show all scenic elements. Major scenic elements should be identified through notes. Overhead items should be shown with These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.dotted lines. Curtains, backings, and maskings are shown for sight lines. Contains Line Set Inventory, or a list of pipes overhead that can be flown in or out.d. Light Plot: similar to ground plan. Shows scenic elements (in less detail). Focus is to show lighting equipment for show in relation to scenery and masking. It is a composite drawing. Lighting is drawn over top of ground plan. e. Section: Shows theatre cut in half along centerline and split wide open. If you stand between the two halves and look stage left wing, that is “center looking left.” Cut can be made anywhere that benefits the information.f. Deck plan: drawing of the floor. Theatre floors are often covered with platforms called a show deck. Includes stairs and multiple levels.g. Elevations: Takes ground plan and sets it up in three dimensions, one element at a time. Measurements are critical at this stage, allows carpenters to see each individual piece. Goes into much more detail than ground plan. h. Detail Drawings: where elevation leaves off, detail drawings begin. Give a much closer look with a scale that is closer to full scale. Also include practicals, which are scenic elements or props that plug into
