Post Modernism
Post Modernism - often acknowledge their own artificiality and remind the audience they are media products - blends and merges different styles together to create something new e.g. lego movie creating new and original characters wit lego pieces
- Challenges genre conventions and could be a mixture of many genres is fantasy, action/adventure, comedy, romance and sci-fi instead of conforming to one
- Challenge typical character roles Emmet (the hero) is an average person, Wildstyle (female) is the strongest of the group, an emo and a woman and Batman is not as heroic as he is in other films
- Pastiche: imitates/has similarities with other stories, films, books and has a humorous take on troubles in society/culture Links to the Matrix with a similar storyline/plot, brings in characters from other stories (Batman) and gives the message that imagination is important to have in society and you don't have to conform to the rules and be different
- Hyper-reality: makes the audience aware that they are watching a movie and that it isn't real (e.g. breaking the fourth wall like Dead-pool) The Lego Movie merges the Lego world in animation with our real life world
