CINE 485 Production Design Practicum Workshop course asks students to serve as the production designer on a significant short film using a screenplay developed in a previous semester. They will collaborate with advanced student directors, producers, and cinematographers and conceive the overall visual concept for the film. Emphasis will be on the artistic relationship with the director and cinematographer, as well as on the organizational and financial relationship with the producer. Under the leadership of the producers, the production design students will assemble an art department with key personnel, develop and monitor the art department budget, and supervise the execution of their design.
