The document discusses how settings are used in psychological thrillers to establish characters and propel the plot. Initial home settings can portray a character's mental state and lifestyle. Pivotal moments often take place in dark or ominous natural settings like forests at night to build tension. Later settings like cities can represent a character's feelings of claustrophobia or isolation as the story progresses. Overall, settings are deliberately chosen in psychological thrillers to subtly convey characters' emotions and foreshadow upcoming events through their connotations.

thGAP - BAbyss in Moderno!! Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives ProjectMarc Dusseiller Dusjagr
thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

2. Introductory Settings andThe Home
• The initial setting of the main character in a psychological thriller is often used to establish
their themes and emotional state.
• Their home can often outline the state of their life, including family and lifestyle. For
example, a character owning guns or having a dark and dingy room can be used to portray
an evil side.
• In contrast, a happy and safe initial setting can be used to juxtapose their initial mental
state with that of the one after a series of traumatic events.
• For our idea, the main character Charlie will start in a darkened room, illuminated by his
lighter.The dark symbolises his isolation and evil tendencies, while it also immediately
introduces his idiosyncrasy of the lighter.
3. Location of Pivotal Moments
• The setting of moments which define the plot or the protagonist often follow
certain tropes of psychological thrillers.The main feature is darkness, which is
often provided by a natural or normal setting that is being subverted.
• For example, a woodlands or forest is often seen as serene yet dangerous when
dark, making it an ideal place for a key scene. Our movie idea follows this trope,
with the body being found beneath a tree in woodland at dusk.
• Since the primary function of this setting is to foreshadow what is to come, the
darkness is apt. Natural settings do not have to include nature, as a house or school
at night time can be equally as effective in creating dramatic effect.
4. Symbolism of Mental States
• The use of a setting can convey the stage of a character’s progress or ark.
• Cities are often used as a metaphor for a state of claustrophobia and not being able
to escape. Later in our film, the character pursues his friends to kill them in
London, being jealous of Gemma’s high-rise flat.
• A character’s feelings can also be mirrored by the weather in the setting; pathetic
fallacy. A stormy situation can connote sadness and anger, while sun near the end
of a film can symbolise the coming of peace.
• Furthermore, the severity of a setting can be used to show how negative the state
of a character is. A mild grey dusk conveys less fear than a pitch black woodland.
5. Conclusion
• Since a psychological thriller is meant to manipulate both the mind of the
primary character and the audience, the initial use and connotations
received from settings are not to be ignored.
• The hidden meanings can amplify any setting or emotion.
• For example, in Shutter Island (Dir. Scorsese, 2010), many claustrophobic
and close up shots are used to illustrate DiCaprio’s character’s “trapped in”
state of mind. Many shots of bare brick walls and sweeping pans of the
island demonstrate his isolation and desolate living space.
