Quick Narrative sketch

In short films there is not enough time to establish a full narative through dialogue and storyline. As a result I will have to use camera techniques, editing, diegetic sound and mise-en-scene. I plan to use these technical elements  effectively to establish a narrative. My narrative will be constructed using a combination of cinematography styles, editing pace and mise-en-scene (in particular lighting).


Unlike a short film a feature length film would easily follow the traditional narrative theory (Todrov's narrative theory) which there is an equilibrium - disequilibrium - re-equilibrium. 

I will use Barthes' enigma code to convey narrative. This is the idea that the media presents a series of mysteries and clues which must be unravelled by the audience at the end of then text.  This theory allows me to convey a narrative through the camera rather than dialogue..
