Some techniques for encouraging
audience involvement
|
Examples used in the episode
Origins
|
A character-centred
story.
The storytelling is primarily carried out through the actions of characters.
|
|
Narrative motivation.
Irrelevant and unrelated content is not included and the narrative
follows a strict cause and effect sequence. |
|
Goal-oriented plots.
The characters pursue a goal and overcome difficulties placed in the
way of this goal. |
|
Eye-line match cutting.
The characters' glances link the shots and the audience apparently
sees what the character sees. |
|
Point-of-view cutting.
The camera is placed in the position of the character for the second
shot giving the impression that the audience sees not only what the
character sees but from exactly the same position as the character
sees it. |
|
Shot-reverse-shot.
The camera is placed behind the shoulder of each character while cutting
back and forth to their faces during an exchange of dialogue. In this
way the audience is in the best possible position to see the face
of each character while they are speaking. |
