Genre Proposal
Joshua C. Cook English 1001 (006)
I have a few ideas for what genre I could use for my project are, Dystopian Alternative history, or thriller horror. My audience strategy is to exemplify the comedic idea that marketing is trying to influence people through sneaky underhanded tactics. I would like to explore the idea of a world where subliminal messaging is used to control the masses and keep them in line. For my infographic I would like to incorporate a subliminal message or maybe make some fake propaganda for the alternate world that I would be exploring. I think that the timeline would split around the 40’s or 50’s.
The thriller horror angle is something I’m less sold on but the idea has some upsides. I could explore how subliminal messaging could be used to split families apart an degrade a persons’ morals or sanity to the point that they’re homicidal or maybe deranged in some other way like extreme bureaucracy. I’m not to certain about this angle but I think it might work better because it could still mirror reality in a fashion closer than the first genre could.
