FILM – a Critical Introduction
CHAPTER 4 - Narrative Form - Part Two
Analytical tools for interpret
Identifying and describing and write analysis
5 components: cinematography, sound, mise en scene, editing, narrative
form (structure)
they organize visuals and sounds
* NARRATIVES = VERHALEN (VERHAALLIJNEN)
* fictie = verzonnen
‘it is motivated’ = behavior is shaped by earlier experiences so we know
why
‘exposition’ = the opening scenes of a film, which a great deal of
informatiion about the characters and situation is imparted – can be very
important for the rest of the movie
emotional involvement/connection is important for viewers
‘backstory’ = the story events that take place before the film begins
(the (niet uitgesproken) past)
‘narrative form’ = information that contribute to the overall storytelling
framework
structuring device
zorgt voor: begrijpen van change, development, parallels, motifs and
interpretation
DEFINING NARRATIVE
= verslag van een reeks van gebeurtenissen in space and time in order of
cause and effect (lineair and logic) zodat de characters goed te volgen zijn
(eigensch, goals, obstacles, actions)
FOCUS ON: characters and struggles (changes) – verstoring van een
stabiele situatie
Moeten altijd een obstakel overwinnen (concreet, abstract, hoge, simpele,
zichzelf, anderen)
Cinematic techniques: dialoge, music, visual effects, locations,
costumes, colors and editing
Spec script = a screenplay that a screenwriter submits for consideration
(niet beoordeeld)
daarna pre-production (adding information)
shooting script (dagplanning)
FRAMING THE FICTIONAL WORLD:
DIEGETIC (verhalende) AND NON-DIEGETIC ELEMENTS
DIEGESIS = inside the fictional world (settings, characters, sounds,
events)
