Post Modernism features to remember

• Non linear narration = temporal leaps/fragmented storyline is a common feature of post modernism films.
• Copious references/allusions/pastiche/bricolage to other media texts.
• Unusual yet realistic Dialogue - throws the audience out of sync. Also, not necessarily used to further plot or develop character - simply to entertain.
• Mocking conventions of media texts e.g. cinema. E.g. camera movements may be unusual - i.e. not following two people as they are walking/talking, but letting them walk of screen, yet still allowing the audience to hear diegetic dialogue.
• Main characters may not necessarily be stereotypical hero's. E.g. they could be a violent criminal but features such as humour/dialogue could still encourage the audience to sympathise with these characters. Perhaps also as the film treats such behaviour as normal and lets you into the characters world.
• (THEORY) Bathos - When something serious is under cut by something comical

This can be translated very easily into our music video to fit in with the post-modernism ideas and rebellious attitudes we wish to create
