My idea so far is to film two, 90 second long Westerns scenes. The first being a Western in a traditional sense. The second being a revisionist Western, I could argue that revisionist Westerns allow for greater empathy and identification because they have characters that are more realistic and less morally narrow-they are more rounded, more relatable and thought through individuals.

In this I could look at covering my scenes in two seperate ways. The first being un-empathetic, so quicker cuts, more obtrusive soundtrack, less dialogue, broken down communication. The second could be slower, more interesting, more of a verbal exchange, more minimalistic.

I want to look at conventions of the genre and sub-genre and see what influences they have on the viewer-what techniques do what.
