Pre-Production: Defining the Setting

 Following our detailed character development session, our group shifted focus to defining the settings of key scenes within our film during the subsequent class period. Recognizing the pivotal role of setting in shaping the tone, atmosphere, and narrative trajectory, we engaged in collaborative discussions to pinpoint the locations that would best serve our storyline. Through thoughtful consideration of factors such as time period, geographical context, and cultural nuances, we meticulously crafted immersive settings that would enhance the authenticity and impact of our film. This exploration of setting provided a solid foundation for our storytelling process, laying the groundwork for evocative and compelling cinematic experiences.
