PICTORIAL ZONES: Locations and floor plans
Film design is both practical and conceptual. This workshop takes you through the intuitive and methodical processes of production design, exploring locations, floor plans, and concept drawings. Using reading skills, analysis and application, we will cover methods and principles that can be used for any scale of project. Participants may want to use the session as an opportunity for pre-production planning for a project already in development. The following week’s workshop “Chroma and Action Mapping” is recommended as a complementary session in the Cinematic Stagecraft Series.
In this five hour workshop participants learn how to:
*Do location surveys
* Make good location documentation
*Draw accurate and useful floor plans
* Get the most out of locations as working sets
* Develop studio sets
* Make informative concept drawings
