Setting
Gives information on genre, timescale, if it's in past, present or future, rural/urban, characters being rich or poor.
Props (short for properties)
- Going to give the audience some clues about some things.
Characters might be holding a knife/gun, so the audience are aware that they're about to commit a crime.
If they're holding an empty drink bottle it portrays that they may be an alcoholic or love their alcohol.
If they're holding a bag with golf clubs it means they like to golf and could also mean that they are from the middle class.
They might have a car and it may be a black BMW which means that they're wealthy.
Props give an indication of wealth, interests and occupation.
Lighting
High key lighting is very soft, a sort of shadowless lighting, quite a feminine type of lighting; often used in conduction with light skinned people, light hair and light clothing. It's soft and romantic.
Dark lighting is a bit aggressive and macho. It's quite unsettling and mysterious.
Costume
It can reveal era and wealth. Modern/metalic/silvery clothing against old clothing suggesting different time periods.
Overalls and dungarees would suggest a coal miner.
A black dress and white apron would suggest a waitress.
If a man's wearing tight black leather trousers and his shirt open to his waist, it can reveal his sexuality as perhaps gay.
