 Preliminary Exercise Activity Definitions

  The exercise is to help break down the key components of setting to better understand what's needed to create a good setting for a short film of our own. The plot of the movie we analyzed was horror/thriller based; the main villain was targeting a group of people who were terrified but grew strength to fight back. The characters would be the generic troupe the hero/leader, the female character who has character depth and bravery, the sick/asthmatic one, one with glasses/introvert, black friend, possible homosexual/non-generic background. These are connotated with the flashback scenes showing their past or how they act around others. The film is horror, and the director shows this with the darkened lighting, dark/ deep soundtracks, moments of complete silence to show isolation before a jump scare.
