Art Direction is an inseparable part of dramatic movie making, which sets a consistent visual tone of the entire movie through the creative control of color, texture, compositions, light source etc. With in-depth case studies, the aim of the course is to equip students with the knowledge and understanding of the technique of art direction. Equal emphasis is placed on training students’ creative visual treatment in translating senses, thoughts and feelings of a narrative into film set design and moving images. It also aims at stimulating and equipping students with the necessary methods to create their own unique visual expression and style through cinematic set creation and narrative interpretation with art direction. Students of the course are expected to apply such knowledge and skill in their own project.
