In 3 weeks, I'll need to submit my assignment and none of it has been done yet. Hmmmm maybe some small part of it like 5%?? 3 weeks left and I started to do some research.

Firstly, what is narrative pictures? Quoted from David Campbell in his blog:

"A narrative is an account of connected events. To think about narrative, however, involves more than reflecting on how a series of events become connected. We also need to think about how something is constituted as an event in the first place. Events are not found objects waiting to be discovered. As Allen Feldman has stated 'the event is not what happens. The event is that which can be narrated'"

Well, for me narrative is an idea. Pictures need to represent the idea. It need to be build by multiple component such as lighting, objects, expression and etc. It need to shows emotional status of the idea ( do you know that object can also shows emotion?).

So, my job is to help the component in the pictures show off their emotions (I'm feeling so excited right now!).

Secondly, "Narratives can be structured in a number of ways, but the classical form is that of the linear narrative – a story with a beginning, middle and end, strong characters and a story arc along which elements of the narrative run."

Okay, now it becomes hard. I'll need a storyboard for this assignment. :( Friends, you'll need to help me with this.


Last but no least: "sometimes things speak louder than faces"
Well said. :)
