Art directors and production designers are the cinema's 'architects
of illusion'. Their overall purpose is to produce the overall
pictorial vision for a film and their skills encompass set design,
storyboarding, painting, decoration, construction, budgeting,
colour and special effects. This book examines the crafts of art
direction and production design. It traces their contribution from
Thomas Edison's primitive studio, the Black Maria, to the growth of
the Hollywood 'studio system', to the effect of sound and colour,
and on to the computer-generated imagery of contemporary Hollywood.
It does so with reference to many major productions, including Gone
with the Wind, McCabe and Mrs Miller and Batman, demonstrating the
real significance of the contribution of the art director and
production designer to filmmaking and its history.
