production design
Film's physical environment
Production design is the craft of creating the overall visual environment for a film, television show, or theatrical production.
The production designer oversees sets, locations, props, and the general look that establishes time, place, and mood: The production design evoked 1970s New York perfectly.
The role coordinates with cinematography and costume design to achieve visual coherence.
