Reading

There are many ways to express a narative. you can use multiple images to create a sequence and a scene. storytelling is very important because they supply information . Beats, scenes and sequences are the same things that moviemakers use in their films. who the story belongs too is also very important. Style can affect the communication of ideas. Cause and effect is also a key tool in narratives. commercials can use cause and effect or multiple images to communicate ideas, using either straight info, comedy, realism, rationality or emotional appeals.

What was most interesting to me were the devices used to express a story. The multiple images and the cause and effect were seemed like the most important aspects of the chapter. I really want to know more about those aspects, how they are used effectively and techniques, and even more storytelling devices that weren't mentioned. it also talked about close ups and balancing the opening and ending with the citizen kane example and i would like to know more about those techniques. Most of the chapter seemed like filler, but Kane and the commercial examples were interesting. Why didnt they just have more of that?
