Production Design for Film & Television
Tisch School of the Arts: Undergrad Film & TV
Art Direction is one of the more complicated aspects of film and television making. If the director is responsible for the actors, the cinematographer the camera and light, then the art director is responsible for everything else in the frame. The art director is the person ultimately responsible for the overall "look" of the picture. He or she must be able to work in tandem with the director, the director of photography, and the budget. The art director strives to fulfill the director's vision of the piece, but must do so economically. The art director scrutinizes the script carefully and, in conjunction with the director, arrives at a visual plan for the picture. A comprehensive class in the process involved in art direction, students will also produce designs through exercises. This course allocates as a Craft for Film & TV majors.
