Advantages

There is obviously some limitations of the methods I can use to measure the realism in town hall station. However I intend to use as much options as possible to create town hall station as realistic as possible.

Photography will definitely be my first choice in analysing Town Hall Station as it is an easy and effective way. Pictures tell a thousand words, what greater way then to have many photos to refer to. I think by taking many photos I will have an advantage because it essentially allows me to' re-visit' the station and acquire any information I need to create a realistic model.

Measuring the site may be a little difficult. But I intend measuring with steps as it is the least suspicious option. At the most a may look a little weird, but at least I wont be a suspected terrorist or something. Obviously my advantage of doing this is that I will have dimensions of the station, which is definitely important in portraying realism. If the model was out of proportion it will instantly be noticed by the audience and will destroy its realism.

I also to intend to record sound using my phone. This will provide me with a realistic presentation of the environment in town hall station.
