Fair play


A character (or fictional character) is a person in a narrative work of arts (such as a novel, play, television series or film). Character, particularly when enacted by an actor in the theatre or cinema, involves "the illusion of being a human person."
A character who stands as a representative of a particular class or group of people is known as a type. Types include both stock characters and those that are more fully individualised.
The study of a character requires an analysis of its relations with all of the other characters in the work. The individual status of a character is defined through the network of oppositions (proairetic, pragmatic, linguistic, proxemic) that it forms with the other characters.[ The relation between characters and the action of the story shifts historically, often miming shifts in society and its ideas about human individuality, self-determination, and the social order.

Entry with music


Most films have between 40 and 120 minutes of music. However, some films have very little or no music; others may feature a score that plays almost continuously throughout. Dogme 95 is a genre that has music only from sources within a film, such as from a radio or television. This is called "source music" (or a "source cue") because it comes from an on screen source that can actually be seen or that can be inferred (in academic film theory such music is called "diegetic" music, as it emanates from the "diegesis" or "story world")
