"Most great stories of adventure, from The Hobbit to Seven Pillars of Wisdom, come furnished with a map. That's because every story of adventure is in part the story of a landscape, of the interrelationship between human beings (or Hobbits, as the case may be) and topography. Every adventure story is conceivable only with reference to the particular set of geographical features that in each case sets the course, literally, of the tale."-Michael Chabon

Movie Trailer in class activity

Consider the following:

What is being framed? What is the director choosing to show?

  • Use of visuals (people, places, objects, etc.)
  • Use of audio (narration, quotes, music, etc.)
  • Pace and tone
  • Types of emotional appeals meant to persuade the viewer
  • The way the character interacts with his environment
