TASK 4: NEW LEARNING

Character
The people and animals in a story are called the characters. There are main
characters around which the story centers. Other characters may not be as important
as the main characters but are otherwise essential in creating the story.

Setting

When and where a story takes place is the element called the setting. A
story may be set in a real or imaginary place. It may be set in the past, the present,
or the future. Sometimes the setting is clearly stated. With some stories, you need to
figure out from the details in the story where the setting is.

Plot
A third element of the story is the plot. This refers to a series of events in
the story. The plot usually focuses on a problem or an action that the characters
confront and try to solve. We say the plot thickens when the action builds towards an
important moment in the story called the climax. The climax may call for a decision, a
discovery, or an event. The climax is said to be the turning point of the story and is
also referred to as the highest point in the story. When the problem is solved, the
story comes to a close. Not all short stories offer clear solutions. Sometimes, the
reader is left to conclude for himself how the story will end.

What are the elements of fantasy?
Fantasy – a genre of imaginative fiction involving magic and adventure,
especially in a setting other than the real world.

Many fantasy movies involve adventure as a key feature.

Characters may discover hidden magic, wonder, and surprise in
our own world.
Elements of fantasy:
Magic – has its roots in the idea of arcane knowledge the ordinary person cannot
access.
1. Adventure – an adventure in fantasy is common. It often features another meaning of
magic. Adventure means the unusual and exciting or daring experience associated
with danger or taking risks. Characters take new risks, whether it be riding into battle
to confront a mysterious, supernatural foe, or simply trying a magical delicacy in a
fantastical sweet shop.
2. Fantasy: struggle for mastery – Themes struggle and mastery are found in many
fantasy stories. Part of this is due to fantasy’s origin, special yet volatile and
dangerous knowledge. This process of struggle and mastery is often shown in
character development. Sometimes characters use power irresponsibly. For
example, in the movie “Enchanted,” Queen Narissa turned herself into a dragon to
show her power to the people and supposedly punish Giselle by slaying her one true
love, Robert. Yet because of her carelessness, she fell from the top of the tower,
down below, and kill herself.
As with many other genres of fiction, fantasy has many subgenres:
a. Epic fantasy – typically explores plots and themes that are ‘epic’ and
sweeping, such as conflicts between good and evil lasting ages.
b. Dark fantasy – stories that incorporate horror elements.
c. Contemporary fantasy – stories that set in our world that involve magic
and other supernatural elements.
d. Urban fantasy – fantasy fiction where the urban, modern city is the
typical setting.
3. Place/Setting – in fantasy, you often strongly experience both characters’ effects on
their world and their world effects and influence on them.
Effects of viewing to the audience:
1. Add relevant detail
2. Give places different levels and sources of tension and intrigues
 3. Know the rules of place in your world
