Enjoy carpentry and love to shop?
Ever wondered how that modern office space was turned into a prison cell?
The art department - including the production designer, art director, set designer and props - are the people who create a film's look.
They build sets and dress them, choose furniture and generally look after everything artistic.. and on a small independent film, this can be a one-person show.
Find out what it takes to be part of a film's art department in this introductory workshop. Topics cover include analysing the script, sketches, blueprints, models, locations, set construction, set dressing and props.
Workshop includes a visit to a set (subject to availability).
