We discussed the importance of production design as well as the role of the Production Designer for film. The film chosen by the class to be screened was Batman Returns (1992).

 ...as well as links to articles I think would be of assistance with the understanding of production design:

We talked about the Elements of Art but this article uses the visual elements to springboard into a discussion of the Elements of Film. 

Meet in the Lobby outlines their 4 Films that Helped Define Production Design. 

The New York Times get Inside the Production Designer of 'The Hobbit' and discover it takes a whole country to make Middle Earth.

Finally, I would not normally post a Tumblr tag but this one dedicated for Production Design is stunning. Take the time and investigate.

The slides for this week lecture can be found here. Enjoy.
