Philosophical Framework
- Expositive - clarifying of reasons, arguments, and communications (Austin 162)
- Utterance - string of words (Austin 76) in relation to my application - an aspect of the form with communicative properties (as separate from the intended message, interpretation, or psychological response)
- Constative Utterance - relays information without eliciting a reaction or response; statement of fact (Austin 46) (Austin doubts possible the possibility; When and why does one give information without reception? (Austin 109) This term is much more valid in the context of a book, movie, or video game, because you can use the communicative elements of the medium separate from the discourse of the narrative. For example you can give the page number, the menu of a game, or the credits without it having any emotional reception.
- Performative Utterance - performing of an action; not simply passively describing reality, but they are changing the reality they are describing (psychologically/socially) (Austin 19) • Performative Formula – The transformation of a constative utterance to a performative utterance (to make explicit) (Austin 33)
- Locution - the full units of speech (Austin 94)
- Illocution - concerned with the communicative effect (Austin 94)
- Perlocution - concerned with the result (Austin 94)
Cinematography
- dutch angle (Barsam 213)
- Dolly-Zoom
- Shot/reverse shot (Barsam 491)
- Self-reflexivity -"The quality of a form that reflects, mirrors, and even critiques itself" (Barsam 490)
