The reading on narrative is a rundown of basic points about cause and effect and character motivations, traits, tendencies, beliefs etc. Diegetic and non-diegetic elements etc.
The section on experimental video provides some potentially interesting suggestions for later viewing, ‘Fall of the House of Usher’, ‘Little Stabs at Happiness’ and ‘Fist Fights’ all sound interesting.
The idea of ‘associational form’ is somewhat new to me. The process of putting non-related objects together and allowing the viewer to form the links in their won mind. This could be used to great and hilarious effect, perhaps a meta-documentary where people make up the plot while themselves being the plot.
