Set Design The Purpose of Scenic Design Helps the audience to
understand the world of the play Reinforces the production visually
Aids the actor in completing actions Slide 11 Realism Design is
meant to make the characters and situations seem real, a slice of
life. Slide 12 Simplified Realism This is one step removed from
realistic style. The setting is basically realistic in concept, but
the designer has been more selective in choosing the elements for
the setting, eliminating all items not having a direct bearing on
the play. Slide 13 Formalism This term is usually considered to
define a rather neutral form of setting composed primarily of
steps, levels, platforms, columns, and other architectural forms.
Used primarily in presentational style productions and classical
plays. Slide 14 Stylism All-inclusive term which can be used to
refer to any scenery that makes no attempt to be realistic but
exaggerates, simplifies, or distorts realistic forms in order to
enhance the presentation of the play. Usually used in fantasies,
musical comedy, expressionistic plays, and farce. Slide 15 Stylism
