Media forms = various types of language

Narrative links with time/space & how you organize it

Time can be linear, non-linear & sequential — chronological

Theme is also important & how you represent it in your video

Narrative = overall structure

Story = theme/idea

Plot = how you perceive these aspects

Tripartite narrative structure = stories can be broken down into beginning, middle & end. Equilibrium, disruption & new equilibrium.

Exposition – inticing incident

Climax

Denouement – resolution

Vladimir Propp (character types and function) – stories use STOCK characters. Characters function to provide narrative structure:

Hero

Helper

Princess

Villian

Victim

Dispatcher

Father

False hero

Propp’s idea that a story is broken into stages:PREPARATION, COMPLICATION, TRANSFERENCE, STRUGGLE, RETURN, RECOGNITION

Claude Levi-Strauss (Binary oppositions)

Seymour Chatman: Satellites & Kernels

Kernels:key moments in the plot / narrative structure

Satellites:embellishments, developments, aesthetics

I think I am going to use a non-linear structure in my video
