Settings can communicate time and place. They can also inform us of character.
Costume, Hair and Make-Up
Tell us immediately whether the film is set in the present and what society/or culture it will centre around
.
Act as an instant indicator to the audience of a character’s personality, status & job.
Facial Expressions provide a clear indicator of how someone is feeling.
A film-maker can use positioning to indicate the relationships between people.
