Description

Film Narratology by Peter W.J. Verstraten explores the unique narrative effects of film through cinematic techniques such as mise-en-scène, cinematography, and editing. Building on the theory of narration developed by Mieke Bal, this comprehensive study examines external and internal narration, visual and auditive focalization, and the impact of sound in film narratives. Verstraten illustrates these principles with a diverse range of examples from avant-garde cinema, Hollywood classics, blockbusters, and European art cinema. This insightful analysis will become a standard reference for film students and scholars seeking to understand the complexities of cinematic narration.
