{"product_id":"9780802095053","title":"Film Narratology: Introduction to the Theory of Narrative","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost modern studies of narrative tend to focus predominantly on literature with only some reference to film. In \u003ci\u003eFilm Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter W.J. Verstraten makes film narratives his primary focus, while noting the unexplored and essentially different narrative effects that film can produce with mise-en-scène, cinematography, and editing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReworking the definitive theory of narration offeredby literary scholar Mieke Bal, \u003ci\u003eFilm Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e examines cinematic techniques such as external and internal narration, visual and auditive focalization, the narrative force of sound, and the ambiguities caused by voice-overs and flashbacks. Verstraten illustrates these narrative principles with a broad range of examples drawn from avant-garde cinema, golden age Hollywood, blockbusters, and European art cinema. Insightful and comprehensive, \u003ci\u003eFilm Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e will surely become the standard reference of cinematic narration for film students and scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011362275568,"sku":"9780802095053","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802095053_p0.jpg?v=1763664542","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802095053","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
