Art Direction

In the session we talked about the responsibilities of each person and their role. Being Art Director it was discussed that the list of my responsibilities would include.....
Storyboards
Sketches; Costume Ideas, Props
Set Design
Moodboard; Colour Texture, Pictures from magazines/movies etc
Work with the editor in terms of grading and lighting
Use the budget to buy or borrow things to dress the set and character
-Jumble Sale
-Charity Shop
-Drama departments prop collection
Mise-en-scene in character detailing

My job as an Art Director will be to start thinking about how I would style the Character as well as the filming location. This all has to fit in with the mood of the piece or at least be aesthetically valid/relevant.

Thoughts that have so far come to mind include bits and bobs taken from various films with my own personal twist on it such as...
Happy Go Lucky

Based on how Poppy's always sees the bright-side of life and her happiness despite other people perceptions namely her driving instructor.

Ramona and Beezus

Ramonas way of thinking and her good intentions, as well as the way she views life.
