Actor Dictionary | Setpiece

This is a term most often used in both production and development. It describes a really important dramatic or comedic scene or sequence in the story - particularly those that plant seeds, provide some sort of payoff, convey character traits, or provide resolution. These scenes are so pertinent to the story that they cannot be eliminated or augmented without affecting the integrity of the film. For example, the opening scene in the THE SIXTH SENSE where Bruce Willis' character gets shot is an important setpiece - the twist at the end wouldn't work without it.
