This course is no longer open for applications. However, BA (Hons) in Design for Film offers Production Design as a pathway from Year 2 after a shared first year.
Production design (scenography) is the creation of a space in response to a text, music, dance or television format: an imagined world. Central to the process is an ability to analyse, creatively interpret and invent. In all areas, the Production Designer works closely with the director and a creative team, communicating through the use of scale models, sketches, paintings, technical drawings and digital media.
Theatre: learn the skills to work across the gamut of drama, opera, musicals and dance. Television: create a visually distinctive and workable environment that gives each production – be it current affairs, gameshows, music or drama – its own unique visual identity. Film: design sets in studio and adapt existing locations to create a convincing world within which the story can unfold.
