Abstract:
|
"A cyclical construction of film creates a storytelling apparatus which is flexible, modular, and efficient to a degree not found in a linear narrative format. Such changes to narrative structure have the potential to increase audience engagement with the narrative, and allow a greater range of narrative techniques. Cyclical narrative variability is a method of introducing elements of nonlinear variation into the linear structure of conventional cinematic language. This will establish a methodology for introducing the element of controlled variability into a linear film structure using contemporary software platforms."
