Production Design

The production designer is the "eye of the director," says Ken Adams, the famous PD. The produc-tion design team visually implements the script, conceives and stages spaces, defines milieus, designs color dramaturgies, and provides a central component of the film's atmosphere and the world it evokes. Beyond evidently design-intensive genres such as sci-fi or period movies, a con-vincing production design is also a pivotal factor in productions less rich in props. Despite its con-spicuousness, it is all too often overseen that it makes a decisive contribution to the Ge-samtkunstwerk film.
