High-concept : ウィキペディア英語版 | High-concept
High-concept is a type of artistic work that can be easily pitched with a succinctly stated premise. It can be contrasted with ''low-concept'', which is more concerned with character development and other subtleties that aren't as easily summarized. The origin of the term is disputed.〔Justin Wyatt, ''High Concept: Movies and Marketing in Hollywood'' (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1994) p. 8. ISBN 978-0-292-79091-9〕 ==Terminology== High-concept narratives are typically characterised by an overarching "what if?" scenario that acts as a catalyst for the following events. Often, the most popular summer blockbuster movies are built on a high-concept idea, such as "what if we could clone dinosaurs?", as in ''Jurassic Park''. However, it is important to differentiate a high-concept narrative from an analogous narrative. In the case of the latter, a high-concept story may be employed to allow commentary on an implicit subtext. A prime example of this might be George Orwell's ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'', which asks, "What if we lived in a future of totalitarian government?" while simultaneously generating social comment and critique aimed at Orwell's own (real world) contemporary society. Similarly, the Gene Roddenberry sci-fi series ''Star Trek'' went beyond the high-concept storytelling of a futurist starship crew, by addressing 20th century social issues in a hypothetical and defamiliarising context.
