RIP Essay: American Horror Story
In the television show review of the Pilot episode of American Horror Story called an AMERICAN HORROR STORY: AN EMOTIONAL DRAMA WITH UNEXPECTED TWISTS THROUGH THE PSYCHOLOGY OF WOMEN, by Cristal Oliveros, I tried convince my audience how the show can be seen as a Drama even though it is considered a Female Gothic. I did this by comparing the Drama genre to some of the scenes in this first episode of American Horror Story that enable the show be considered a Female Gothic. This enabled my audience, who are people who would typically seek Dramas, to branch out of that genre and try something new.
The first thing I tried to do was to address people who would typically seek Dramas by asking “Looking for a Drama …show more content…
I left them questioning what was to come by inserting a cliffhanger and asking questions like: “Will Vivien find out about the seductive maid? Will Ben have a sexual affair with her? Why are they seeing the maid in different ways? etc.”, at the very end of my review. According to the Literary Device website, “A cliffhanger is a type of narrative or a plot device in which the end is curiously abrupt so that the main characters are left in a difficult situation without offering any resolution of conflicts.” Through this cliffhanger, my audience will be motivated to continue to watch more episodes in order to find the answers. Eventually, leading them to explore this Female Gothic sub-genre even if its not the genre that they typically seek. This enables American Horror Story to gain viewers who are interested in a whole different genre.
By reviewing the Pilot episode of American Horror Story I was able to explaining how the conventions of a Female Gothic sub-genre and the scenes tired in together and be seen as a Drama. This allowed me to convince the audience to consider watching the first episode of American Horror Story and try something new. Furthermore, adding suspense at the end of my review convinced them to continue watching the future episodes, regardless of their genre
