| The PD
works hand in hand with the Director & the Director of Photography
(DP). The mission of the PD is to build up the team with complete
knowledge of the Art Department. Under the umbrella of a PD comes the
expertise of the prop master, wardrobe manager, fashion consultant,
locations manager, and the makeup & hair artist. With all this
disciplined, the PD then has to co-ordinate with the DP & the Gaffer
(lights). The PD is aware of the actual design process for film. The
mood, atmosphere and general “look” of the film, together with the
importance of research, are stressed at all times. This includes work
around locations, plans and elevations, lens angles and director’s
viewfinders, models and miniatures, composition, perspective, working
with a DP in black & white and in color, set design and
construction. PD develops visual concepts and transforms designs into
reality on a sound stage or location, while adhering to restricted
budgets.
