The setting includes the time and place that the film occurs in. It is easy to ignore the setting as it seems a natural backdrop for the film, however, it is often used to create meaning and enhance the storyline. Is the setting integral to the storyline? Could it be set somewhere else? If so how would this affect the interpretation of the film?
