HUM 150 Week 2 DQ 3  
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?

HUM 150 Week 3 DQ 1  
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?
17
HUM 150 Course Seek Your Dream / snaptutorial.com
HUM 150 Week 3 DQ 2  
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?

HUM 150 Week 3 DQ 3  
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.

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

Avatar people?

HUM 150 Week 5 Assignment Movie Critic  
When deciding what movie to watch, a typical
thing to do is to check the newspaper or Internet
for movie reviews. In this assignment, be a movie
critic and report your findings to the public. Do
not use material you have gleaned from
professional or newspaper reviewers. This paper
is to be based solely on your own observations
and concepts/language that you have absorbed from
our text. If you use material from our text, make
sure that you quote and cite it correctly.

HUM 150 Week 5 DQ 1  
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?
32
HUM 150 Course Seek Your Dream / snaptutorial.com
HUM 150 Week 5 DQ 2  
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 Zombie land 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?
33
HUM 150 Course Seek Your Dream / snaptutorial.com
HUM 150 Week 5 DQ 3  
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
