Theatrical
conventions have to do with the engineering product's ties to
the story and how that tie affects audience response during the
actual performance. The goal is to make the engineering product
so closely connected to the story that it seems to be a natural
and sometimes necessary occurrence and at the same time evokes
an emotional response. Theatrical conventions concerning the relationship
between engineering and audience can be classified four ways:
magical, suspenseful, the unexpected, and the revelation. Theatrical
conventions closely relate to performance and style conventions.
