In "Avatar sequels will be made in New Zealand" (page 17, What's Up January 2014), we read about how the locations are an important part of movie-making. The right scenery makes the story more believable. Before they build a full-fledged movie set, they often make miniature versions to test out their ideas.
Why don't you try building one at home too?
Materials Needed
- shoe box
- glue
- scissors
- paper, clay or any other material of your choice
Instructions
1) Imagine that you are making a movie of your favourite book. Choose one scene from that story. Read it carefully so that you will have an idea of how the set should look.
2) Plan your mini movie set. Make rough sketches before your decide what you are going to build.
3) Gather the materials you want to use. You can use any material of your choice. Be as creative as possible.
4) Turn over the lid of a shoe box. Stand the box up on its sides and place it upright on the lid. Glue the box onto its lid. This will be the background of your set.
5) Paint the box with your chosen colours.
6) Add details. Work from the back of the shoe box to the front.
You have your own Mini Movie Set!
I tried it. It looks good!
