The overall visual concept of a film, encompassing sets, locations and props.
Production design unifies environments, costumes, props and color schemes to convey setting, era and tone. It translates script themes into tangible spaces.
Designers collaborate with directors and cinematographers to draft floor plans, models and concept art, then oversee art department execution.
Early involvement in script development allows designers to propose feasible designs, secure locations and manage construction costs.
Films like Pan’s Labyrinth, Mad Max: Fury Road and The Grand Budapest Hotel demonstrate how strong production design becomes integral to storytelling and audience immersion.
