When a movie is being made, it is important to understand the geography of the setting.
- Which cities will be featured in your movies and what do we need to know about those places that will make your movie more interesting?
- How would you describe
the environment so that the set designer will know what to do?
- What kind of geographical
obstacles will your movie characters encounter?
- How will your characters
travel - camel caravan? on foot? boat routes?
- What kind of weather will
your characters experience?
- How might the climate
affect what happens in the storyline?
