As a style of literature, novel and its creation pattern has attracted much attention since the day it came into. Narrative study started with the research on novel creation. In the 60's of 20th Century, with the rising of structuralism thoughts, novel narration combined together with Structuralist Literary Criticism and formed Structuralistic Narratology. Since then, narration has become an independent discipline appearing on the stage of Literature. Novel narrative structure has been deeply influenced by structuralist linguistics----semeiology which is represented by a famous Russia linguistic Saussure and structuralist poetics----mythology which is represented by Propp. Apart from this, Saussure's research in Synchronic Linguistics and his separation on "signifier" and "signified" both posses deeply influence on movie theory, too. With movie's wide acceptance as "the seventh art", some scholars,as Matz and Eco, analysed movie structuralistic narratology thoroughly and completely, formed an integrated narration theory. For this, both novel narration and movie narration are the art style in narration theory. They have same theoretical foundation and can be compared.Inspite of this, novel and movie are two different arts. Novel possess its affection by words, but movie uses pictures and voice to tell the story. There is a wide difference in both story telling and narration therapy. Comparing different narration therapy of novel and movie is full of feasibility. With a closer connection between novel and movie, a large many of novel have been adapted into movie. The transition from novel narration to movie narration has received more and more attention. It cannot be ignored. It is necessary to make a comparative study for us. Above all, comparing novel narration theory and movie narration theory posses viability in theory and necessity in use.There are three parts in this paper. In the first part, it will have a theory carding from the start of novel narration and movie narration, reaching the conclusion that they are able to be compared.
