  • Think of a film in which the main character shows
    development. Describe the characters personality
    and circumstances at the beginning, middle, and
    end of the film. How did elements such as
    conflict, dialogue, or appearance demonstrate the
    development? How did your feelings about the
    character evolve in relation to these
    changes?Think of a film in which a character
    changes little or not at all. How does this lack
    of development affect your feelings toward the
    character and plot?

  • 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

  • Describe the most memorable costumes and makeup
    you have seen in film. What effect did this have
    on characterization and the film as a whole? Is
    there ever not an effect, intended or otherwise?
    To what extent is authenticity important? Always?
    Or are there exceptions, and if so, why so?
    Explain and provide examples.

  • Discuss with examples 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. 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?

  • Imagine your house or apartment is a set for a
    movie in which you are starring. What would the
    set tell the audience about you and your life?
    Why? What elements would be most revealing?How
    do moviemakers use sets to reveal character
    information, and create tone and mood for the
    story?Recall a scene from a film you have seen
    recently to illustrate your point.

  • 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
    setting will have on

    sounds do you not hear, but the audience does?

  • 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

  • What about the acting in animated or
    half-animated movies? Would you say that some of
    these movies are harder for (and on) actors
    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?

  • If you created a film from the year you were born
    or a year of your choice, what tools would you
    use to place it in the proper context? Refer to
    the Film in Context chart in the text for
    guidance. Select a movie you are familiar with
    from the chart and identify the context.

  • Imagine you are a character in a comedy. And also
    a romance. And yet again in a comedy-romance.
    What sounds do you hear? What sounds do you not
    hear, but the audience does? From these, discuss
    how sound manipulates audience reaction in
    comedic, romantic, and comedy-romantic films.
    Name some other characteristics one finds how do
    they contribute?

  • 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
