We can consider a narrative to be a chain of events in cause-effect relationship occurring in time and space. A narrative is what we usually mean by the term story. 

– David Bordwell

As a Cinema Studies student I am familiar with this reading and with the concept of ‘Narrative’, however looking over this reading once again was not a bad thing for me to do. Narratives are made up of various elements, including plot, time, space, and Openings, closings, and patterns of development. These narrative elements occur again and again throughout film/cinema and play a major role in an audiences understanding of a narrative.

From narrative comes documentary film, and experimental film – and as was said in the post with this reading, all 3 of these particular topics  are going to be incorporated into our own Korsakow films. Experimental films have their own way of telling a story, as do documentaries, but they all still use the same varying forms and conventions when it comes to actually making the films.

In particular I fin the associational form of experimental film to be really interesting, with the fact that images and sounds are put together and juxtaposed to force us, the audience, to look for some kind of connection. This intrigues me in relation to korsakow and how visuals and sounds can be put together in an interactive way.
