Theatre 318 - MOVEMENTS IN DESIGN

Topics course. Filmmaking is storytelling. This story can be told by the actors or by its visuals. Every film employs a production designer who, with the director and cinematographer, is in charge of the visual design of the film. In this class we will learn how a production designer breaks down a script to determine which scenes should be shot on location and which should be built as sets. Each student will then make design choices for the entire script. Whether picking out locations or creating sets to be shot on a sound stage, this class will examine what makes one design choice better than another. Students will also learn the basic skills to communicate their designs through storyboards, and drafting. Enrollment limited to 12 students.

Topic: Production Design for Film.
