Synopsis: Design in film is an elective unit involving close visual analysis of selected feature films. The subject focuses on design as part of the visual language of film. While embracing theoretical concerns the primary emphasis is on the design component of the film and the subject is therefore particularly suited to Art and Design students. Assignments 1 & 2 will involve close analysis of films as complete works, but more particularly the structure of key sequences and the role of design in these sequences. Assignment 3 will involve a study of the design contribution of one of the following areas of film expertise (cinematographer, production designer,costume designer, or film titles designer).
