Abstract
In media-related experimental content, non-narrative methods utilizing non-verbal elements such as dance, music, and visual effects significantly enhance both narrative and emotional resonance. This paper explores how symbolic dance choreography, thematic music, and visual effects (e.g., color usage and shadow projections) convey narrative and emotional intent, heightening viewers' immersion and emotional engagement. Beginning with an analysis of symbolic dance, the paper demonstrates how abstract movements convey themes like freedom and oppression or states of joy and despair, revealing mechanisms of audience interaction on a fundamental level. Additionally, the paper discusses how live or pre-recorded music intensifies narrative structure and emotional involvement, using thematic motifs or silence to influence narrative pacing. In terms of visual effects, color theory and projections contribute an additional psychological depth to the narrative space. In experimental media, these non-verbal tools not only expand the boundaries of narrative expression but also blend emotion and storytelling into a unified, immersive experience.
