Backstory refers to events and information that occur before the start of the plot. This backstory helps to establish the characters, their motivations, and the overall context of the story. The exposition refers to the introduction of the main characters, setting, and initial conflict, which usually occurs at the beginning of the plot. The setup and opening can refer to various aspects of the beginning of the story, but do not specifically relate to events that occur before the plot begins.
