Settings:
A setting is the physical location of the film. Where it takes place. The setting can add to the mood, for example, by the weather. Rain would create a sad, depressed sort of mood. Changes of the settings can indicate new starts, loss, success etc.
On location is when the film or scene is shot at the actual place. Eg, a playground.
In the studio is when the scene/film is shot inside a studio with props, lighting and more to make it seem like it is actually shot outside or at the actual place. It is much cheaper to shoot in the studio rather than on-location.
Props and motifs:
Props are things on the scene, like a book, chair, desk, cell phone that give you clues about the character. If a prop is used again and again in different scenes it becomes a motif.
A motif is something that is repeatedly used in the film, helping to describe something about a character without actually telling you. Sounds or musical phrases also count as being a motif. You assume things by these motifs. Such as a cell phone or brief case may suggest that the character is a work-aholic.
