Art director is a title for a variety of similar job functions in theater, advertising, marketing, publishing, fashion, live-action and animated film and television, the Internet, and video games. It is the charge of a sole art director to supervise and unify the vision of an artistic production.

Château De Tanlay
The Château de Tanlay at Tanlay (Yonne) is a French château built in Burgundy during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, famous for its beauty and the setting. The walls are of limestone under tall sloping slate roofs ''à la française'', surrounding three sides of a central court with cylindrical towers at its four corners. The château is entirely encircled by its rectilinear moat and approached on axis across a bridge marked by paired obelisks through a gatehouse (''illustration'') built in 1558, which straddles the low balustrade and projects forward into the moat. The perfect symmetry of the ''cour d'honneur'' is part of Tanlay's serene charm. The foundations are in part those of the thirteenth-century ''château-fort''. The rebuilding in Renaissance style is owing to the brother of the Admiral de Coligny, François de Coligny d'Andelot (1521–1569), who inherited the site in ruinous condition in 1547 and whose construction campaigns of 1555-1568 during the W ...

Location Shooting
Location shooting is the shooting of a film or television production in a real-world setting rather than a sound stage or backlot. The location may be interior or exterior. When filmmaking professionals refer to shooting "on location", they are usually referring to a "practical location", which is any location that already exists in the real world. The filming location may be the same in which the story is set (for example, scenes in the film ''The Interpreter (2005 film), The Interpreter'' were set and shot inside the Headquarters of the United Nations, United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan), or it may stand in for a different locale (the films ''Amadeus (film), Amadeus'' and ''The Illusionist (2006 film), The Illusionist'' were primarily set in Vienna, but were filmed in Prague). Location shooting includes any practical location which resembles the location of a scene in the script; for example, students in the USC School of Cinematic Arts, film school of the University of ...
