The production designer is responsible for the overall visual concept and style of a film, television, or theater production. This includes identifying design styles for sets, locations, graphics, props, lighting, camera angles, and costumes. As production designer, they work closely with the director and producer to ensure all visual elements are ready for filming scenes. For an action/sci-fi film, the production designer's tasks may include sourcing modern props like smart watches for characters and choosing practical black suits and subtle makeup for a bold look.

3. What will I have to do during the process as
Production designer ?
Our genre is Action adventure and Sci Fi, so I will need to bring special props for the characters
like apple watch which is the latest watch making the characters appear modern and up to date.
Since, it is an action film for the costume I decided that the characters will wear a black suit as it
is a conventional costume for an action film.
The characters are male and men don’t wear bright girly make-up therefore I have decided that the
characters will wear contour so then they can appear bold.
