The framing behind stories and narrative. Specifically in the film industry.
An example would be jerky camera actions such as in Parks & Recreation or The Office.
Realism is a lens in which we each see the world. There is no perfect lens that fits everyone's mold.
Realism is not a mirror, there is no perfect reflection of the world as everyone sees things differently.
LANHAM
STYLE
Style affects our ability to be persuasive.
The way we use language gives us power. If our writing is transparent, we hold less power than writings that make others critically think.
