Content

This unit offers an introduction to visual storytelling techniques used by production designers and costume designers in film, television and live performance to elevate the creative vision of a project. Practical workshops allow students to gain embodied knowledge of costume and prop selection, spatial design, set dressing, location selection and the use of virtual production environments.
