How you ever been so immersed in your favorite TV shows that you actually thought you were part of the scene? Yes, a huge part of that is due to the set design. Production and set designers make it a point to create sets that draw audiences in.

Take for example HBO’s mega-hit, “Game of Thrones.” If we were to depict the interiors of the houses and castles accurately, it wouldn’t be as appealing. There would be very little to no lighting and viewers would barely see the medieval fixtures. But somehow, set designers have managed to create interiors that have natural light as well as interior lighting to illuminate a great deal of a room or chamber, so much so, that we can see things clearly even if the setting is in the evening.
Sitcoms such as “Friends” and “The Big Bang Theory” on the other hand, have sets that are designed to make viewers feel like part of the group. The living rooms and bedrooms are cozier and more spacious than how ordinary apartments in real-world locations would be. And check out their blocking in the scenes; they more often than not leave a space unoccupied, which helps audiences imagine they were there with their favorite characters.
