Focus - Focusing In The Multi-narrative Media Presentation

Many narratologists treat the focalization as one of the tools. The thesis focuses on the focalization itself, answering where the focalization is. what consists of focalization and how to use the focalization in the narrative analysis. After comparing Gerard Genette's three types of focalization and Mieke Bal's focalizor, I believe there are three levels in a narrative text:one is the focalization level, the second is the story level and the last is the narrative level. The focalization can be understood from five elements of the point of view just as Wolf Schmid said. Comparing the three narratologists's analysis on Madame Bovary, we know the precondition of the focalization analysis is to cut suitable narrative segment.Different focalization depends on different mediums. In classical narratology, film narratology and cyber, there are lots of research on this subject. Taking film narratology for example, especial narrative characters of film are connected with especial focalization of films.And then, the thesis analyzes the novel Remembrance Of Things Past, the film Time Regained and documentary film Chronicle of a Summer Rouch and online novel Bayue Weiyang. In twentieth century, camera, film, television and internet have developed very rapidly. Lots of narrative texts in books have been adapted to films, stages and computer games, and converted to digital texts. There are some differences between these narrative texts with different medium. We can compare these different narrative texts from the perspective of narrative focalization and other key terms, and try our best to know what the change of medium brings to the narrative texts themselves.In particular, media characters in multimedia era different from film, television and other media forms. The focalization in some online novels likes what someone whispers. The perceptions are on action instead of those of the roles. And the focalization from screens instead of focalization from the camera.Finally, situations become more and more complicated in the multimedia age. Many mediums are amalgamated expect for traditional TV and film. Judging a narrative text is not just in the narrative text. We should think over different medium will influence the narrative text because it is not unique and can be copied many times. People can express themselves through internet. Bayue Weiyang is a very traditional novel seeing it from the view of its zero focalization. On the contrary, computer games as a special narrative text pay more attentions to the perception of the roles'action not the roles:create a new type of focalization screen focalization which borrows ideas from camera focalization in the film.
