Answer 2

To understand the importance of a dramatic element in a plot like sequence, I usually compare it with narrative story-like forms.

The major difference of writing for the page and the stage is that a lot of the devices used to unfurl the plot or point of the play is visual. The screenplaywriter has to rely heavily on visual imagery, its textures and interpretations, in addition to the auditory aspect of plays i.e. dialogue and direct speech.

Setting then becomes primary mode of establishing a context for the character on stage. This means giving hints to the audience of where the character is situated, what timeline, what realm (if it's fantastical). Setting answers the questions of place and time.

In a one act play, the screenwriter must establish setting immediately: The audience must easily get the character on stage, and also know where the character is placed in the focus of the play. Here, setting becomes crucial because it instantly lets the character have a way of connecting to an 'environment' of sorts for the benefit of the audience. Either setting here helps flesh out the character or actually helps further the plot.

eg. Imagine a character dressed in Victorian garb, looking up at the makeshift tower just when he sees woman tip a pot out the window and yell too late. Immediately, it adds context, and humor and allows for the plot to unfold.
