Stylised Dialogue

Stylised dialogue is the way in which writers write a script for their film. It mainly depends upon the genre, era and place it is set as to what the script would be but it is a device in a way in which it can recieve the right approval from the audience but is also used to highlight the when and where of a film. It can also be used to convey the characteristics and traits about a certain character so that the audience can empathise with the person on screen. Even though people do not use this kind of dialogue in every day life it can usually be used in a sarcastic way or even in a derogitory fashion but overall it is an almost unused language in modern day life. However, in the televise world it is used for the means of the narrative or a way in which to portray the characters.

For example, Romeo and Juliet is wrote in shakespearean language due to the way in which shakespeare wrote his plays in the victorian era of which it is based upon; an example of a piece of stylised dialogue in this film would be, 'where art thou romeo'.

On the other hand in a film like Django Unchained it is wrote in a westernised sort of speech, an example of a piece of stylised dialogue in this film would be 'shiiit negro'- this was used to make an effect on the audience by emphasising the character's traits.
