In our groups, we came up with a storyline to meet the title 'Terror In The Night'. WE drew out ten small scenes that would sum up the story being told, our teacher then moved one scene and placed it in a different place, changing the entire narrative structure. Our task was to be able to tell the same story and make it make sense with a different narrative structure. As a group we found this task quite difficult because we felt like the entire story had changed/had to be changed in order for it to make sense. In the end, we were able to keep the same storyline and work around the disruptive narrative structure.
What is the effect of the change in narrative structure?
-The storyline of the film completely changed, it didn't make sense anymore
-The order of the deaths did not follow in order for the film to end how it should do
-Our biggest plot twist did not make sense as one character was not supposed to be send throughout the whole film as she is portrayed to be dead
-The events wouldn't have ran smoothly into each other
-Audience feels sympathy towards different characters
What must happen next to tell the same story but with a different narrative?
-The length of camera shots would need to change in order for the film to flow smoothly and effectively
-May have to re shoot particular scenes
What technical areas need to change?
-Need to start the opening scene with high key lighting
-This would give a sense of happy equilibrium
-Switch to low key lighting when the first character gets accused
-This would create a sense of mystery
Overall this task has been challenging as many elements of the film would have to change for the story to fit this new narrative, however it would be possible using various editing techniques and having to re shoot some scenes to capture the storyline the way we want it with the new narrative.
