Responding and Connecting to Design

Production designers are responsible for the visual concept of a film, television or theatre production. They identify a design style for sets, locations, graphics, props, lighting, makeup, and costumes, while working closely with the director and producer.

Respond to each major aspect of the production design. Be specific! Think about colors, set, lighting, costumes, makeup.

Directions: Point to a specific scene--What effect do the choices made have on the audience? Why were these choices made? Do not specifically evaluate music/acting, but do consider their role in the design and effect of the production.
