A direção de arte nas obras de Wes Anderson

Abstract

This work was done in order to understand production design, its possibilities of use, mainly as an enriching resource of narrative and character construction and the way it is used by director Wes Anderson. From a bibliographical review conceptualizing what is production design, its elements and forms of use and what is character and how it is characterized and presented, were used as object of study three movies of the director, The Royal Tenenbaums (USA, 2001), Moonrise Kingdon (USA, 2012) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (England / Germany, 2014). The analysis was made taking into account the work done by the production design in general in each one of the movies, highlighting their performance in the course of the plot and the use of this feature in the characterization. In the end, was possible to recognize recurrences in the work of Wes Anderson, as well to understand the relevance of the production design in the presentation of the plot and characters.
