Development of Ideas and Structure in moving images

What is film? Most people call it a movie, pictures or motion pictures (cinemas). Film tells a story with moving images, it’s recorded with cameras which produces photographic images or creating images using Animation skills and visual effects. In today's generation film making has developed into an art formation and industry. What is a Narrative? Narrative is very important in media/films such narratives may be extended and developed, as in film dramas or documentary programmes where the whole 'story' is told. They may also be continuous narratives, such as television news or soap operas. They may also be mini-narratives, or narrative 'snapshots', which leave the viewer to complete the narrative, a technique which is used in many magazine or television advertisements. A list of possible types of narratives might include the following: personal histories, the News, fairy tales, jokes, dreams, suspense thrillers, ghost stories, comics, etc. All these possible types of Narratives makes us become aware of the fact theses have certain common elements, but have different characteristics which can be told in different ways, with different styles from a different point of view.

Character Design

Why are Animal Characters successful in animated films? Why are animal, monster and object characters so loved by children and adults? Examples such as Wall-E, Monsters Inc, Toy Story, Madagascar. None of these movies have human protagonists, yet they are the most successful animated films. Its mainly because there just so different and not 'human' in those films. There's good and bad in every film especially in animated films or Walt Disney they make sure they always betray this but the most decent way possible so children can understand it without getting to confused this is where the narrative comes in

The story development

Three Act Structures

This structure keeps audiences on the edge of their seats as they experience such a rollercoaster of action and drama which is pushed into the next act and ask a question that is to be answered later by the following act.

In the second chapter of Twilight Saga, New Moon this story has near enough a perfect model of a three act structure. The first act of the film comes to a close say about thirty minutes in when Edward ends his relationship with Bella. This would be the main problem in the film and which continues to get unable to resolved until the end but will serve as a cause of the next two plot points.

The second act begins as Bella sufferer from 6months of depression and aloneness anxiously and desperately waiting for Edward to appear back in her life. In attempt to see him she pursues very dangerous acts in which she has visions of him warning her to stop being reckless and daredevil like. This obsession leads her to her best friend Jacob likewise who falls in love with her as she uses him to get better. Jacob plays a major role in the second act to the audience’s curiosity about who Bella will end up with as a balance to Bella's life. This shifts into more a less the last act because Jacob reveals to Bella he's a werewolf and she suddenly looses friend. Bella jumps from a cliff in very desperate attempt to see Edward this is where Edwards sister Alice steps in.

With Alice's return Bella learns of Edward's plan to expose himself in order to be sentenced to death by the Volturi and takes off to Italy with her to stop him. After about fifteen minutes of racing around the world we see Bella save Edward which casts the story into the final twenty minutes up until the end where their relationship is reconciled.
