From "Dune" to "Barbie," "Poor Things" to "Parasite," the special collaboration between directors and designers is forged around visionary drawings and models – tools of visual communication that involve framing, composition, lighting, color, material, texture, scale and space perception. In this studio, students will study exemplary film sets and trace the conceptual, technical and narrative arcs that lead to a film’s final aesthetic vision-- the creative visual expression that is rooted in the production design of the film. They will collaborate to conceive and produce sketches, drawings, and models of filmic spaces, interpreting scenes from existing films and creating original sets for new scenes/films. Skills include: architectural representation, experimental drawing, sketching, painting. The studio will draw on works from interior design, architecture, fashion and film, and texts that derive their content from interdisciplinary researchers, academics, historians and practitioners within the disciplines of film, architecture and design, visual and cultural studies.Upper Division Interdisciplinary Studios extend a student's cross-school experience from Core Studio up into their upper division years. 3 units of Interdisciplinary Studio are required of all majors and must be completed in the junior or senior year. This advanced level studio is thematic in nature. Technical demonstrations are paired with thoughtful readings, seminar discussions and ambitious projects. Collaboration, experimentation and presentation skills are developed in concert with critical thinking.
