- What is narrative? - narrative models, narrative and design.
- Telling a story. An account or story, as of events, experiences etc. That part of a work that relates events. The process or technique of narrating.
- Jonathan Culler - Literary theory: A very short introduction.
- Scientific logic, A + B = C Reading fiction feels more real than reading history. History is facts.
- It is sometimes better to leave out things in your designs so the viewer has to fill in the gaps themselves, it engages a sense of imagination.
- Illustrations where you see everything but it doesn’t really explain a lot, we want the whole story and to know what is happening.
- Tick-Tock. Gives the noise of the clock, a fictional structure, differentiating between physically identical sounds.
- Humanising time by giving it a form.
- Tick-Tick is not a story
- Tick is the beginning and Tock is the end. It is the model of what we call a plot.
- Structure, shape, transformation, resolution.
- Narratives are transferable, they work in different media.
- Stories - myths, legends...
- Moving Image - Film, Video...
- Sequenced image - Graphic Novels, Custom stories...
- Static Image - Narrative Painting, advertisement...
- Display - Museum design, exhibition, visitors centre...
- Performance - Theatre, dance, readings...
- Abstract narratives - Process of reading, immersing ourselves in a painting.
- Dealing with time:- capturing events (e.g. as video/film footage or recorded sound) Streaming real time and/or the manipulation of time through editing.
- Still image compositional devices: Stop frame, multiple exposure.
- Temporal Separation and sequencing of related images/information.
- Interactivity and user choice: Web navigation, open print layouts, maps, game design.
- Time is and ingredient in composition. It is one of the materials that you work with in a narrative.
- how time changes the way we read illustrations from the knowledge we have of shapes and objects. As a modern audience we can keep up with the editing because we have learnt how to do this.
Examples of narrative models in film making.
- Designing narrative still isn;t the same as writing the story.
- Narrative models - Archetypes
- Joseph Campbell - The hero with a thousand faces (1975)
- Shake up the form to look at what you are trying to say.
- Single frames might not make sense without it being in the context of the others.
