Now that you have chosen a genre, research the micro elements that are typical of that genre. Record your findings in your blog. How will you apply those elements to your own product? If you are going to challenge the genre’s expectations, How will you do this so that the audience can still follow the narrative? In your blog, be sure to include all the URLs you consulted with on genre expectations.
The genre of our final project could be considered a thriller. It is going to have suspenseful dialogue and tense music. These could also be seen as micro-element examples. Another could be dutch angles. This is a major micro element in some instances. Mauricio and I are going to use dutch angles at appropriate times in the final product, yet unexpected times.
The audience should be able to follow the narrative fairly easily. It’ll not be a very confusing story, but you will have to pay attention to dialogue to know what is happening. If the audience does this, they will be fine during the story of the final project. Micro-elements that will be experimented with will be familiar to the audience and for that reason will be popular. A twist in our story will also make our narrative different from other stories.
