Microgenres in Migration
Keyword(s):
The movement of special effects among media texts is the focus of this chapter, which argues that certain well-known special effects should be approached as “microgenres” that emerge, evolve, and die out at accelerated timespans. Using The Matrix franchise and its signature “bullet time” special effect as a case study, the chapter relates the digital environment of contemporary transmedia to an analog history of borrowings and citations of special effects in film and television. The chapter concludes with a discussion of migration in digital visual culture, expanding the book’s scope to include videogames.
