DescriptionProduced by Twentieth Century Fox in cooperation with the Academy as an installment of the twelve-part series The Industry Film Project, this 1948 short uses clips from Hollywood features productions from M-G-M, Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount, to demonstrate the work by motion picture art directors across all settings and eras to create illusions of space and time. The first job of an art director is to analyze the script to determine the correct background. Next, an evaluation is made of how much of a set must be constructed. The art director needs a strong knowledge of history and the styles of various eras and an understanding of lighting and camera requirements to maximize his efforts. After selecting appropriate fabrics and colors, sketch artists reproduce the art director's original designs. Miniatures are created which assist the director and cinematographer in determining their shots. The sets are constructed and the art director works with the set designer to complete its look.
