This book is for anyone who wants to learn about production design and art direction, whether they are students, producers, directors, writers, or designers from other fields who want to work in film and video. Easy-to-understand practical terms encourage the reader to apply imagination to everyday design problems.
Due to the wide-ranging nature of this book, I have divided the information into three parts: “The Role and Responsibilities of the Production Designer,” “Outline of a Job,” and “Typical Sets and Opportunities.”
Part I illustrates where production designers came from, what a production designer is and does, and basic materials and tools used by designers. Various examples show different projects and solutions.
