One of the elements of most affinity between architecture and cinema is the scenographic project. The set designer, like the architect, starts from a concept to create spaces with a purpose. The architect designs spaces for living and the set designer designs spaces for storytelling. Many architects work with scenography because of the affinity between the activities.
The setting makes up a considerable part of the cinematographic image, referring mainly to framings where the mise en scène only encompasses that setting or the actor interacting directly or indirectly with the environment around him. Starting from a simple concept, the scenography of a film integrates the entire study of the cinematographic space, composed of the scenario, the arrangement of the furniture and the organization of the objects. Going beyond the notion of decoration and interior design, the setting tells a story, and the elements chosen can highlight a possible personality of the character, while contributing to the understanding of the events of the narrative.
