Research on the Repertoire of elements
Nick Lacey's Repertoire of Elements is a combination of media techniques which is used to suggest to the audience what particular genre group or mixture of genres the media piece belongs to. This is used on a number of different types of media such as film and television. There are 5 elements which are setting, character, narrative, iconography and style.
Setting
A location of where it's set can be a huge giveaway to what genre the media is linking too. From setting it into another country to road signs in another language and the style of the setting can give the audience an idea to the era of what date the media piece is meant to be displaying.
Character
The costume, make-up and acting of the character is part of the media used to help giveaway the genre to the audience. The character's outfit is styled to fit the time era it is meant to be set in and the acting of the character can demonstrate where they may be from and the date when the media is meant to be taking place.
Narrative
This is the storyline set for the whole genre and can be developed from the characters acting and such. The narrative set for the genre is meant to be giving hints as to what genre it comes under. For example, a villain appears during the film which then leads to a hero living a normal life and hiding their superhero identity from the public.
Iconography
This gives the piece of media a unique selling point for itself. This can be demonstrated through visual images, audio, unique logo or an iconic tangible item. For example, to give the audience the idea that it's a thriller and slasher is by giving them either snippets of the killer or showing signs of blood and death.
Style
By the use of different camera angles, shots, editing and lighting can contribute to how the genre is presented in the media piece. For example, dim-lighting with mainly chiaroscuro set on the scene can give the impression to the audience that the genre of the media piece is a horror and thriller.
