Set decorator

<p>The set decorator is the head of the set decoration department in the film and television industry, responsible for selecting, designing, fabricating, and sourcing the "<a href="/facts/Set_dressing/Cy8GqDDo">set dressing</a>" elements of each set in a <a href="/facts/Feature_film/v115s81Q">Feature Film</a>, <a href="/facts/Television/X4YG5nT1">Television</a>, or <a href="/facts/New_Media/AhuRPHpN">New Media</a> episode or <a href="/facts/Advertising/Hgz271hW">commercial</a>, in support of the story and characters of the script.  The set decorator is responsible for each décor element inside the sets, from practical lighting, technology, art, furniture, drapery, floor coverings, books, collectables, to exterior furnishings such as satellite dishes, Old West water troughs, streetlamps, traffic lights, garden furniture and sculptures.
</p><p>While the Set Decorator provides all of these elements, the Propmaster provides elements that are handled by the actor. For example: a library is decorated with set dressing such as the furniture, books, desk lamp, blotter, framed photos, personal effects, letter trays, letter opener, papers, paper files. The Propmaster provides the props – the letter the actor is opening and reading, the pen he writes with, and the ink into which he dips his pen.
