Most people who see Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and who are affected by it emotionally still aren't aware of all these Plot Deepening Techniques at work. The film provides a good demonstration of how, if you've got someone emotionally engaged, they won't notice the specific techniques you're using. As discussed previously, though Emotioneering dramatically can increase a player's emotional involvement in a game (or, in this case, an audience's emotional involvement in a film), the techniques that are used to accomplish this usually operate outside the player's or audience's conscious awareness. And, after all, if all Emotioneering techniques were self-evident, then there'd obviously be no need for this book. |
