For writers, knowing some tropes can be helpful in analyzing and writing a script for television, the media, or film. A trope is a storytelling convention that a viewing audience can easily recognize. You're likely to be familiar with some of these tropes.TV programs:

The genre trope awkward father son bonding time can be related to the show delivery man. This boy has over 600 children because he was a sperm donor and decided to meet all of them, which can be a little awkward. Like if my dad came back.
ReplyDeleteThe media trope season finale can be related to Prison Break because it had a season finale.
Comedy trope- There are different types of media uses in comedy. A very popular one is when a human eats dog food which is most likely used in advertisements and movies that are based on comedy. It is similar to the one that says "You have drunken breast milk?" in which the person who drank is left with utter shock and the audience starts laughing. I recently watched "How I met your mother" a few hours ago in Belair's class, which really relates to comedy tropes because the entire episode was hilarious. In a tv show it works to appeal the audience and make them smile even though they have gone through a bad day. Comedy is many tv shows because it is a form of entertainment.
