Scope of Work

• Look at set designs, room setups or production concepts and judge which one is stronger for a given script, brief or budget.

• Check scale, layout, sightlines, color, materials and how the space would work for actors and camera.

• Flag problems that would show up on the day (a set that does not fit the shot, a material that looks fake on camera, items wrong for the period).

• Check that a design fits the story, the setting and the budget.

• Write a short explanation for each decision so a reviewer can follow your reasoning.
