Now that we have seen the role of the production designer, this part traces the progress of a design project from getting the job to evaluating the results.
We will meet the producer and the director, read the script, analyze the set needs, and learn how to do visual research. Then, based on what we know about the characters and their environments, we will make a sketch of the set and create construction drawings and a model following easy-to-understand illustrations. We will follow the set through construction, setup on the stage, and set decoration, and then we will see where we succeeded and where we can improve.
