Production Design

Bachelor of Film Arts


If you are fascinated by cinematic space, compelling environments, different worlds, props, colour, makeup and costume-design, then this subject is perfect for you.

Everything that appears within the film, including the clothing, furniture, makeup, colour and set design choices must work together towards one clear and unified message that supports the overall drama. And it is the production designer’s job to weave together a convincing and affecting film world.

The course teaches you to analyse screenplays, research the world of a story, formulate concept drawings, draw storyboards, build models, miniatures and life-size sets, and define characters through costume, hair and make-up design. This intensive course provides you with everything you need to know to create believable worlds for the camera.
