In Set Design and Fabrication we will create a "real world" movie set, in miniature. Discussions, lectures and demonstrations will illustrate the importance of careful planning, based on an established storyline in order to create a set that accommodates various shot angles, lighting scenarios, animators, and camera access to the cinematography process. The final project for the class will be a complete set of well lit photographs, produced by the student. These photographs will represent the set's function in the proposed production by accommodating, showing, every shot angle called for in the script. By taking this class the student will develop an appreciation for how the Production Designer, Art Director and Set Decorator functions on a typical movie set, coordinating with the film's Director to achieve the originally desired outcome. Some woodshop skills will be utilized in cutting wood, drilling holes, gluing, painting and finishing work.
