Post-modernism is basically about rejecting societal norms, and a "problematical relationship with any notion of art," as described by Oxford Dictionary. In media, this is often represented by genre-bending, and these films typically create higher expectations of film. The lovers of these types of films are often those very into films, and likely to digest them.
Some main characteristics of post-modernism include hyperreality, irony, distortion of time, themes of paranoia, and more. As film nerds, me and my partner are really intrigued by how we can incorporate these themes into our film, and the plot that we are working on I believe really allows us to explore these. Aside from pure interest, we also wanted to use post-modernism to show off certain techniques and skills we have learned.
I read tons of examples on the website linked below, and it gave me tons of fun ideas for our own project.
I am going out of town tomorrow for a national TV production competition in California, so I can't say I will be posting lots over the next few days but when I'm back I will reveal the plot we have planned so far!!
