Shoe-Horn Sonata
Through the use of techniques and themes, a composer is able to create distinctively visual images when describing the setting and characters in detail which help us to understand and form meaning of what the composer is trying to convey in their texts. The use of techniques such as body language, symbolism, lighting, music and photographic background slides create distinctively visual images same with themes that are being used within the texts such as truth which is evident in the dramatic text ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ by John Misto, the song ‘Lose Yourself’ sang by Eminem, and the film ‘The Eye’ directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud featuring Jessica Alba. These three texts demonstrate how the responders are impacted and what is interrupted within the text and there similarities that help shape meaning.
Distinctively Visual can form meaning when the composers are either sending messages or emphasising certain aspects of a character, an event through the use of particular images. In act two, scene thirteen of ‘the Shoe-Horn Sonata, Misto uses photographic background images to covey the idea of what is truly happens in the war field. ‘On the screen we see a photograph of the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima – the infamous mushroom cloud. This is followed by a photograph of the devastated city.’ Also when Bridie stated ‘they wasted no records of what they’d been doing’ P.80. These examples reinforce the responders to understand how the war is structured and how the government covers up past event or experience over time. The images give a devastating shock to the responders and help compare the truth of war within current reality. Thus the audience are able to linking the different images to the events in this case when the war was occurring and after the war had occurred images emphasising the truth of war.
Enhancing distinctively visual images can help the audience gain messages by the composer using the characters and their change of body language,
