• Lighting can be crucial to film sometimes to
  such an extent that lighting can help define the
  particular film genre. Film Noir, for instance,
  and if you are not familiar with Film Noir, look
  it into it and you'll see what I'm getting at. So
  what similarities and differences would you take
  into consideration when shooting horror, romantic
  comedy, detective, and

  setting (including but not limited to location,
  time, era, weather, and buildings). Sometimes
  setting is essential to a story, such as in The
  Perfect Storm, in which the setting is so
  integral that it could be considered a character
  unto itself. Are there other instances when
  setting is not so essential? What other elements
  of film might offset the impact of when/if
  setting becomes secondary? How may changing the
  setting to a different time and place affect a
  film?

• How would you film your story into a 20-minute
  segment your friends would sit through? And keep
  in mind that in addition to entertainment, most
  dramas are produced to convey a film-maker's
  point-of-view or messages/lessons considered
  important. So first, consider the mechanics. What
  types of lighting, sound, and other technical
  techniques convey your drama's theme? What
  framing and camera

• Coordinating your responses here with DQ 1,
  consider the story you wish to tell. Stories
  require conflict, or at least a lot of tension,
  in order to generate interest. So, first, what's
  the conflict in your story and how are you
  plotting it out?Also, movies, like plays and TV
  but unlike books, must use what's called the
  objective point-of-view because they cannot
  show directly what characters are thinking and
  feeling.

• DQ 3 covers settings. DQ 1 covers mechanics and
  DQ 2 covers characters and plotting. So it's only
  natural that to tell your story, you need to
  provide the fundamental elements of setting
  (including but not limited to location, time,
  era, weather, and buildings). Sometimes setting
  is essential to a story, such as in The Perfect
  Storm, in which the setting is so integral that
  it could be considered a character unto itself.
  And there other instances when setting is not so
  essential. Once you'd determined the influence

• One way of judging films (as well as literature,
  poetry, other forms of drama, etc.) is through
  time specifically, by responding to the four
  following questions1. When was the particular
  film created and/or produced? It is of an era,
  after all, and will reflect the era's social
  morays, cultural quandaries, economic conditions,
  and so forth.2. When does the film take place?
  Very often serious films reflect their era in a
  more honest and forthright manner by disguising
  their contemporary issues in prior or future
  times. It can help make the hard stuff easier to
  swallow.3. When did you watch it? This, of
  course, brings up the whole topic of eras again
  now vs then. And does when the film is set work
  better or worse now than when it was

  such as Avatar, in which the actors wore suits
  with electronic gizmos that recorded their
  movements for the computers to recreate with the
  Avatar people?

• Now imagine you are a character in a horror
  movie. Again, what sounds do you hear? And what
  sounds do you not hear, but the audience does?
  Similar to Q 1, discuss how sound manipulates
  audience reactions in horror films. Name some
  other characteristics one finds in all horror
  movies. How do they contribute to horror? BUT ADD
  THIS CONSIDERATION In some instances, genres
  overlap each other, as in DQ1's comedy-romances
  and in horrific movies like Zombieland or Shaun
  of the Dead. In your opinion, do you think these
  movies fall into an existing genre, such as
  horror or comedy? If so, which one do they fall
  into? Why did you select this genre? If not, how
  would you define the

• Now let's consider (again?) the importance of a
  films context to its overall effect. What is
  meant by context? If a film was watched out of
  context (however you define it), do you think its
  meaning would be lost? So, first, select a movie
  you are familiar with and identify its context.
  For example, think of a children's or adult movie
  you saw as a child (something perhaps like The
  Wizard of Oz) or some inane teenage flick you saw
  as an adolescent (e.g., Bevis and Butthead or
  Scary Movie IV or that one about high-school
  girls making another girl's dating life
  miserable). What if anything did that movie have
  to say then, and what if anything does it say
  now? And what if anything did you and your
