Description:
The analysis of scenic design in film and television is often neglected, 
with visual design elements relegated to part of the mise-en-scène in 
cinema or simply as "wallpaper" in television. Critical Approaches to TV 
and Film Set Design positions itself from the audience perspective to 
explore how we watch TV and film, and how set design enhances and 
influences the viewing experience.
By using semiotics, history and narratology and adding concepts drawn 
from art, architecture and theatre, Geraint D’Arcy reworks the key 
concepts of set design. Looking at the impact of production design on 
how the viewer reads film and television, these updated theories can be 
applied more flexibly and extensively in academic criticism. D’Arcy 
creates a new theoretical approach, representing a significant expansion 
of the field and filling the remaining gaps.
This book is ideal for anyone interested in understanding how we can 
read and interpret design in film and television, and should be the 
primary point of reference for those studying TV and film set design.

Reviews:
‘A comprehensive and enlightening work that brings the importance of 
studying set design to the fore of film, television and media studies 
scholarship once and for all.’ – Ben Lamb, Senior Lecturer in Media, 
Teesside University
‘A thorough and interesting book spanning hundreds of years of screen 
content, its set design, and its development and criticism. This is a 
valuable resource for students, theorists and academics alike.’ – Kerry 
Bradley, Course Leader, BA Production Arts for Screen, Wimbledon College 
of Arts, University of the Arts, London
‘This is an excellent text for anyone studying production design and 
also for those studying film in general. D’Arcy clearly maps out the 
theoretical terrain and key discussions within it, calling for a deeper 
understanding of production design and the ways in which it contributes 
to the film text.’ – Jane Barnwell, Senior Lecturer in Moving Image, 
University of Westminster
