 The setting of the Lampoons European vacation is in England. One characteristic of the film is that the movie is heavily implied to take place in 1980s because of the car used. Another characteristic is the time of day which is most likely in the afternoon because of the skylight. One more characteristics The geography is town-like because there are small buildings (not like the ones in a city) with brick fences surrounding the perimeter and a decent amount of grass in the area. The setting is important because it helps understand details and story and where it takes place.


The objective of the excerise was to anaylze the characteristics of the clip of lampoon's European vacation. The film takes place when After winning a European vacation on a game show, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) convinces his reluctant family to accompany him.

After arriving in London, the clan encounters one disaster after another as they travel through France, Germany and Italy, while Clark's attempts to cheer everyone up make things worse.
