First consideration of spatial design for Film.

At it's most fundamental production design is about creating space that directly fulfils the necessary character movement/travel relating to narrative. A character is always driven toward achieving something. How that journey is experienced and paced is the first consideration of spatial design. From there the design is elaborated upon with visual language to express time, place, metaphor and poetics of space.  Finally these elements are broken down into being manageable for budget, studio space and scheduling. Throughout the limitations of production the look can be embellished or compromised, adapted and skewed but that fundamental element of spatial pacing cannot be. When budget and time gets tight fulfilling that fundamental task becomes the cornerstone of the design decisions.
