(Background and Purpose) It is not an exaggeration to say that we are living in the film era where many changes are happening in media industry and numerous film contents are produced and developed. The public is already more familiar with the visual language with the characteristics of `show and speak` than the text language. Usually in the film production industry, `production design` deals with the task of `visualization of concept`. Furthermore, `advertisement production design` is a new concept that incorporates another specialized field of advertising into the field of basic production design. The purpose of this study is to establish the concept of `advertising production design` which expresses the advertising creative visually based on the advertising strategy, and analyze the features and effects of it. (Method) First of all, we identify the differences and definitions of both two concepts, “production design” and “advertisement production design”, and subsequently the characteristics of “advertisement production design.” Then, the circulation system of visual perception, the characteristics of visual language which is distinguished from text language, and the social relation structure between visual image and film image are to be studied by documentary research.

Samsung Electronics provides opportunities for cultural exchanges that provide new experiences and values to the lives of human beings through advertisement film of the product, Chef Collection. Firms are actualizing and fulfilling human species` future values rather than simply selling goods. Advertisement production design can express values and concepts that transcend time and space.
