Character Driven Narrative:
We strongly identify with the trials and tribulations of others. As a result, character-driven narratives that are biographically based can be especially engaging.
The Opening Sequence:
Because most narratives are so dependent on the interplay between cause and effect, the first image that is shown substantially affects each subsequent action. As a result, many directions use the opening sequence to create a sense of anticipation that will pull the viewer into the story.
Conflict:
Inner conflict or conflicts between characters often generate the cause-and-effect relationships on which a narrative is build.
The Closing Sequence:
Especially with a mystery story, the closing sequence is as important as the opening sequence. A powerful closing can reveal an elusive truth, resolve outstanding conflicts, pose a question, or happen home and important point.
Narrative Compression:
Duration, framing, editing, and narration become especially charged with meaning when a television commercial is designated.
The Hard-Sell:
This relies on rational argument and clearly presents one major point.
The Soft-Sell:
Focuses on emotion.
All ads rely on a clear message, strong imagery, and simple communication.
Nonnative:
Many forms of sequential art, however, are nonnarrative in structure.
Categorical, rhetorical, and abstract are common nonarrative approaches.
Interdisciplinary Arts:
Two or more disciplines are fused to create a hybrid art form.
Exploring the Visual Book:
Visual Book: the experimental structure that coveys ideas, actions and emotions using multiple images as an integrated and interdependent format.
Selecting a Text:
Generate Potential:
A brief evocative text can act as a springboard for the book artist, while an overly descriptive text may become a trap. More than verbal polish, a text must provide an opening for further development.
Music: Each language has a distinctive aural quality, or music, as well as a distinctive grammatical structure.
