Jennifer Delgado Hedge Maze Exercise Week 5 10/22/16 1. What is called when you deposit many small particles onto the surface of a model to create texture? When someone deposits many small particles onto the surface of a model to create texture, it is called flocking. 2. What is “O scale”? An O scale is an architectural scale for a model where 1 inch is equal to 50 inches in real life. 3. Why does Adam choose to use particle board for his model hedges instead of the kind of foam you use for model train landscapes? Adam uses material that has an ease of use and ease of coating in order to make the model last longer. 4. Why does Adam like the fact that the particle board wood he uses is “new growth pine”? Adam likes that new growth pine is sustainable. 5. Which of these elements are used by this film to impart information? a. Use of film stills Film stills of scenes of the maze’s configuration are used, such as the scene when Jack looks over the maze while Wendy and Danny are walking in the maze during the day. Adam used the maze to base his replica’s on. b. Use of film clips from The Shining Film clips from The Shining are used specifically ones that feature the maze’s architecture. c. Sped-up footage Sped up footage is used to record the 3 week time period in which Adam put built the maze. d. Close-up shots Close up shots are in included to see some parts of the maze model such as the oven and the snorkel view of the maze. e. Meticulously-worded verbal explanations Adam uses meticulously-worded verbal explanation when explaining the flocking process, use of particle boards and why he is using them, as well as the specific dimensions he used to make the maze accurate. f. Verbal repetition of key concepts and emphatic stress on potentially confusing elements The film includes verbal repetition of key concepts and emphatic stress on potentially confusing elements such as when Adam explains the concept and process of flocking. It is also used to explain importance of the accuracy of measurements within the maze. 6. Explain what an “introduced error” is An introduced error was explained by Adam when he was laying the hedges down. If the initial measurements are wrong, the final hedges to be laid down will also be off. 7. Can you describe the flocking process?

a. Stage 1: Apply pH neutral glue on surface of the LDF; it comes out as beads on the LDF. b. Stage 2: Hit the LDF coat with 77% spraying glue to give a texture and let the glue coat even out. c. Stage 3: Sprinkle the fine turf flocking on; it stays where glue is. d. Stage 4: Bake the boards. 8. Why is he doing this???? Adam wants to make the most accurate and precise hedge maze replica. He wants to make a better one than was in the museum, one that is durable and architecturally the same as the one in The Shining. 9. Where did the orange safety bracket at the end come from? Adam built the orange bracket to help protect the maze during its shipment to the museum....
