Week 7 : Visual Narrative and Media

From my opinion, narrative is story-telling. Visual narrative can be explain what and how a story is formed. Visual narrative can be pictures or videos with have meaning and story behind it. The purpose of my journal, I wish to argue that structure and post structuralism in narrative are powerful to persuade audiences. As stated by Gillian Rose (2001) in his book titled Visual Methodologies, Narrative
"Narrative. Cowie notes how the story of the film contains a number of wishes for rather conventional kinds of success: erotic success and social success in particular. But the film also presents some more prohibited fantasies."(p.126)

As stated on Branston G. and Stafford R., on the book titled the media students book, "the term narration describes how stories are told, how their material is selected and arranged in order to achieve particular effects with their audiences. This partly involves how much knowledge we are allowed..."(p.49)



The images has narrative, there will be a war. Story telling will be soldiers march to start for war. That why imagination and knowledge plays a very important in making picture narrative.
