(Post 33) Planning- Editing
potray emotion (particularly nostaliga, confusion and excitement). I am using a few long-shots
to raise the tention and suggest a sense of loneliness in the main characters mind. Overall, I
am using a clear combination of most camera lenght, and am using each shot and camera
angle to portray further meaning.
Linear Narrative:
Linear Narrative is where the story and plot are presented in a logical manner. This is by telling the story from what happens from one point in time to the next chronologically. You could draw a line easily from the beginning to the end in a straight line. An example of a linear narrative in film is 'Lion':
This film is a clear example of a linear narrative. Although the story spans over a really long time (roughly 30 years), it is all chronological, and there is a clear beginning and end. It starts with the main character (Saroo), as a five-year-old boy. He gets lost one day in India, gets adopted by a lovely Australian family and 25 years later, he decides to go back and find his family. There is a clear beginning- he is a five-year-old in India, and a specific end- him as a 30-year-old finding his family again.
Non-linear Narrative:
Otherwise known as disjointed narrative or disruptive narrative, non-linear narrative is when the story is performed and portrayed out of chronological order, or in any way where the story is distorted. It is difficult to draw a straight line through the events, and the way they are presented can make it hard to see a beginning and end, or the clear line between them. An unusual example of a non-linear narrative is the film 'Saving Private Ryan':
This is a strange example of a film with a non-linear structure, as it is mostly in chronological order. However, in the opening of the film, we are introduced to an older man visiting a graveyard. Afterwards, the story takes place similarly to a linear narrative in flashback form, then the end reverts back to the old gentleman and the story ends. This is a non-linear narrative as it uses a disjointed structure to portray the story.
My idea is similar to this as it also uses flashbacks to portray the story. Throughout my coursework, the story is mostly chronological, but the flashbacks (in the form of photographs) show the audience how the main character got into the situation, and further shows the story of the video. This is a non-linear structure as the story is portrayed in a disjointed way. Although most of the story is chronological, the infusion of information about the story is shown in the flashbacks, so this gives the narrative a non-linear structure. You couldn't easily draw a line in the story from the beginning to the end.
The main editing in my piece:
I am using this tutorial, and my friends help to use the programme Photoshop to edit a video over the top of my original video. This will produce the photograph idea that drives my coursework. To do this I need:
My coursework is non-linear.

The main editing in my piece:
I am using this tutorial, and my friends help to use the programme Photoshop to edit a video over the top of my original video. This will produce the photograph idea that drives my coursework. To do this I need:
- 50 green photographs.
- Two sets of film (one in the present and one in the past- which will be pasted over the top).
- Photoshop.
- A lot of patience.
It won't be this simple, but put plainly, all I need to do is paste the clips from the past over the top of the green screen, and go through it frame by frame to ensure if the actress moves the picture, the action will still remain in the frame it provides. This will be potentially easier when she pastes the photographs up on the wall, as it will provide a perfectly rectangular, still position for the photographs to reside in. It will be a little harder when she is holding them, as the shape won't be perfectly rectangular anymore as she will have her finger over the top, but I will have to make the original shape of the clip perfectly rectangular, then erase the edges and areas covered by her fingers.
