set design
Building fictional spaces
Set design is the art of creating physical environments for theatrical, film, or television productions.
A set designer plans the visual elements—walls, furniture, props, backdrops—that establish location, period, and mood.
The term covers both the practice and its results: The set design evoked 1920s Paris.
Good set design supports the story without calling attention to itself.
