Film & Media Students

0 Conversations

Postmodern self-referential narrative structure


A type of student obsessed with film, television, and journalism. But mostly film. To distance thmselves from the "fanboy"
nature of film, media students like to use terms and phrases that appear completely nonsensical. For example:
non-diagetic, non-focalised, and non-temporal.


If confronted by one of these media students, just yell "Bad Timing is a film without any conventional temporal structure,
yet it has conventional temporal signifiers - discuss!"


And then run away - very quickly.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
