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

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 musical comedy genres. How
would your lighting choices support film
storytelling, including setting tone and mood?

HUM 150 Week 2 DQ 3 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES
VISIT www.hum150mart.com     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?
13

HUM 150 Week 2 DQ 4 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES

of sounds you hear during a movie. What purpose
does each serve? (TIP... the book describes the
Types of Sounds)   Provide at least 2 or more

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.

HUM 150 Week 3 DQ 1 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES
VISIT www.hum150mart.com   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 angles would you use for each scene? Why?
How will they convey emotions? How will they
contribute to your drama's success? Similarly,
what editing techniques would you use, such as
transitions in and between scenes, ways to
compress time, means to establish locations, and
so forth? Why? And what would you suggest to
others about their filming and editing techniques?
17

HUM 150 Week 3 DQ 2 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES
VISIT www.hum150mart.com   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. They are limited to
showing the exterior of characters in ways that
reflect what's going on internally. And they do
so in compact units called scenes made up of
action, mannerisms, and dialogue. So who would be
your characters? Why? How would you have them act
in what sort of scenes? Why? What is your
dialogue trying to accomplish? Why? And what
would you suggest to others about their plots and
story-telling elements?
18

HUM 150 Week 3 DQ 3 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES
VISIT www.hum150mart.com   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
your story and characters, you can turn to
figuring where and why you'd place doors,
windows, tables, stolen jewels, corpses, and
other props. How would you employ the setting,
props, etc. to reveal character information,
tone, and mood? Keep in mind the drama dictum
that if you have a rifle hanging over the
fireplace in act one, you'd better well have it
used by the end of act three. In other words,
everything has a purpose and you need to know
what it is and how and why you'll implement it in
your film.

24

HUM 150 Week 4 DQ 2 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES
VISIT www.hum150mart.com     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
questions   1. 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 originally
released?
25

HUM 150 Week 4 DQ 3 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES

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?

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.
