SOME QUESTIONS TO START WITH…
How do you understand the concept of the ‘world’ of a film?
In what ways does our experience of a film resemble our experiences of reality?
And in what ways does it differ?
Does the way a film creates a fictional world differ from the ways in which one is created in novels, plays, and even paintings?
Do different cinematic genres (Western, Science Fiction, Musical) or modes (narrative, avant–garde, documentary) require different approaches to the idea of the film world?
