Sofia Coppola had a personal project: to present the public with the point of view of Queen Marie Antoinette. To achieve it, she decided to pursue an intimate journey of the historical character. Dialogue with her collaborators, among them the production designer KK Barrett and costume designer Milena Canorero, was crucial on this path. This research aims to investigate the construction of that intimate journey in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, focusing on the work of production design resulting from the relationship between authorship and collaboration. Here, "authorship" is understood as the existence of a personal poetic project for the film and "collaboration" as teamwork as it occurs in the film work. Ingeniously divided into teams - such as art, photography, music, drama and others - the creative process in the film work is the outcome of the communication between these teams. The production design is responsible for the visual concept of the film, working with the construction of visual elements such as scenery, costumes, makeup, objects, etc. The production design was of great importance for the development of Sofia Coppola's poetic project (the creation of an intimate journey), since the documents of the process reveale a filmmaker interested in telling the story far more for its visuals than for the speech of the characters. From this case study, considering the importance of the art team for the film, it was established that even if it were possible to speak of authorship in the collaborative process in film work existing here as the presence of a personal poetic project focused on the figure of the director and screenwriter Sofia Coppola - that authorship is also fueled by the complexity of teamwork relationships. For this understanding, the methodological thinking of the critical process proposed by researcher Cecilia Almeida Salles was crucial. Composing the body of our research are the following documents of the process: the movie Marie Antoinette, the making of the movie that accompanies the DVD, the production notes available on the movie's official website, the press kit of the Cannes festival, the book by biographer Antonia Fraser which inspired the movie, the published screenplay, and interviews on websites, newspapers and magazines. The same materials from the film-maker and her team's other movies were utilized in this research. These documents contributed to the assertion of our relative perspective on the creative process
