The production design gives the viewers a sense of the time period, the plot location, and character actions and feelings."

The term production designer was coined by William Cameron Menzies while he was working on the film Gone with the Wind. Production designers are commonly confused with art directors as the roles have similar responsibilities. Production designers decide the visual concept and deal with the many and varied logistics of filmmaking including, schedules, budgets, and staffing. Art directors manage the process of making the visuals, which is done by concept artists, graphic designers, set designers, costume designers, lighting designers, etc. The production designer and the art director lead a team of individuals to assist with the visual component of the film. Depending on the size of the production the rest of the team can include set decorators, buyers, dressers, runners, graphic designers, drafts people, drafts people, props makers, and set builders."

Attention to detail is also paramount in production design, any mistake on a prop or set can throw off the whole scene. Experience in AutoCAD, photoshop, and Indesign is a great asset too since you'll most likely need to produce images and visual designs to share your vision with the team. You technically don't need to go to school for production design to become a successful production designer, but it doesn't hurt to have background in graphic design, theatre, architecture, or art. ]]> 2021-12-01 05:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_vo1/jx81fo4b86845yam/wish/1922058476 tracy_vo1 https://padlet.com/tracy_vo1/jx81fo4b86845yam/wish/1922067737 Growing up, I've always been interested in anything that involves being creative.
