Description
This book uses in-depth case studies to explore the significance of the design of the home on screen. The chapters draw widely upon the production designers professional perspective and particular creative point of view. The case studies employ a methodology Barnwell has pioneered for the analysis of production design called Visual Concept Analysis, which can be used as a key to decode the design of any given film. Through the nurturing warmth of the Browns home in Paddington, the ambiguous boundaries of secret service agent homes in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and the singleton space occupied by Bridget Jones, Barnwell demonstrates that the domestic interior consistently plays a key role. Whether used as a transition space, an ideal, a catalyst for change or a place to return to, these case studies examine the pivotal nature of the home in storytelling and the production designers significance in its creation. The book benefits from interviews with production designers and artwork that provides insight on the creative process. Dr Jane Barnwell is Reader in Moving Image at the University of Westminster, UK. She is the author of Production Design for Screen: Visual Storytelling in Film and TV (2017), Production Design: Architects of the screen (2004) and The Fundamentals of Film Making (2008).
