Answer to Question 1

The eight characteristics that should be considered for systematic analysis of a
set are:
1. Exterior or interior. If the set is an exterior, how does nature function as a symbolic
analogue to the mood, theme, or characterization?
2. Style. Is the set realistic and lifelike or stylized and deliberately distorted? Is it in a
particular style, such as colonial American, Art Deco, Victorian, sleek contemporary, and
so forth?
3. Studio or location. If the set is an actual location, why was it chosen? What does it say
about the characters?
4. Period. What era does the set represent?
5. Class. What is the apparent income level of the owners?
6. Size. How large is the set? Rich people tend to take up more space than the poor, who
are usually crowded in their living area.
7. Decoration. How is the set furnished? Are there any status symbols, oddities of taste,
and the like? Is it crowded or sparsely furnished?
8. Symbolic function. What kind of overall image does the set and its furnishings project?
