Sets, props, and graphics all work to create visual identity of a film and help immerse audiences into the world presented before them. The art director is the person who makes this world come to life. Art director is responsible for the visual elements of film or television productions. The art director will design sets and props, choose costumes and color schemes, and select locations while working with the producer and director to create an appropriate mood within a production.
You might not know it, but art directors are one of the strongest backbones of any production. When we go to the movies, we’ve learned to really only pay attention to the celebrity stars and directors.
But what about the art directors that made all of the visual aspects of the film come alive? Sometimes, the visual effects made are so seamless, you might not even notice them. Other times, the visual style of a film is a massive undertaking you can’t help but praise. Either way, you have an art director to thank for both of these film experiences.
The folks in the art department — including the production designer, art director, set designer, and prop master — are the ones who create a film’s look. They build sets and dress them. They choose furniture, wall coverings, and rugs. They have the sensibilities and skills of an architect, an interior designer, a carpenter, and a world-class shopper all rolled into one. On a large feature film, the art department will include a number of people with unique job titles. A production designer is in charge of everything artistic. An art director works for the production designer. A set decorator works independent of the art director, but is in charge of gathering all the set dressing and furniture. A prop master takes care of props and usually works under the art director.
