Question
Work in pairs. Decide what the words in each of the groups below have in common.
Answer
- films (a classic = old, well-known, great; can also apply to books or music or genres, a classic soul song)
- kinds of theatre productions / plays (A play is usually at a theatre. A drama could apply to TV programmes too.)
- kinds of art (Installations are usually where the artist designs and places objects in a space or room, e.g. British artist Tracy Emin produced a famous installation of her unmade bed with articles around it and placed it in a gallery. In a sculpture, material is shaped in a 3-dimensional way. Landscapes are paintings or photos of the countryside or places. Sometimes, people also say cityscape or seascape.)
- aspects of a film (A soundtrack is the music or songs in the background of the film, sometimes sold as a separate CD. The photography is how the film looks. The plot is the story.)
- aspects of a theatre production (Lighting is not so often applied to films; costumes are what actors wear; staging describes the constructions on the stage.)
