Weekly Reading – 9/12 – Tran Tran
Hi everyone, I am Tran. I have read Narrative as a Formal System. I learnt from this reading because it gave me more knowledge about narrative and details about what I did learn in class, so I can understand deeply about narrative. Also, I understand the difference between plot and story, which I did not pay attention before. I realized this difference in one of my favorite film called Titanic. When Rose the main character and Jack her lover in this movie were sinking together, the music in the film made that scene more horrific, which is nondiegetic material. And this is not the part of the story. It belongs to the plot. In addition, we can still infer that Rose always remembered Jack and Titanic Ship until she was old, which belongs to the story. I felt interested while reading this material because I can learn something from that, and hope you feel the same thing. This is the link of the movie if you want to watch. Enjoy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMVi953awHQ

    Another non-digetic theme that was fitting was her dream sequence at the end. (well, a sort of grey area in the Diegetic)

    Also it should be noted that the fact that her last thoughts are of the dude she met for like a week and not her husband and children is pretty odd.

Bordwell and Thompson - Narrative as Formal System

Bordwell and Thompson - Narrative as Formal System Everything we do is a story that I didn’t even know about. Telling a joke or talking about what I did yesterday is a story. So, does that make me a narrator? Because I’m telling a story of what I or somebody else did and giving a seer of events. But aides all that, personally I didn’t expect the narrator to be a major part in movies, stories, documents etc. The way I use to see the narrator is just a person that mumbles about stuff but, actuals puts input to the story and gives a feel to the viewer. Also, I never really understood why some movies start right into the middles of action then cuts to the beginning where it starts inducing charters or some problem. But know I get it. It gets me thinking on how the story is going to play out. It does leave me at this cliffhanger where I want to see more but explains what happens before it gets to that situation. But down fall of that is how some movies give you enough info...
