Film Nonlinear Narrative

In recent field of film, there is a fashion of nonlinear narrative structure. But look back to the history of the film, this fashion had a long story. This paper attempts to use narrative theory to the film which, through the work of trying to construct a systematic theoretical system of nonlinear narrative. With the comparison between text and film, as well as linear narrative and non-linear narrative, try to analyze the film unique non-linear narrative.Paper is divided into five parts.In the first part, make a comb of the concept of the nonlinear narrative theory in order to come to my own definition. Set of nonlinear narrative in film history of the development path with attempt to find out its popular historical reasons.The second part discusses the nonlinear narrative time and space show in the film. Talk about the use of nonlinear narrative in the film from its elements such as time order, time distance, space factors and spatial awareness.The third part discusses the nonlinear narrative multi-layer film narrative perspective, the part of the multi-line view from the movie to start, analysis of the film director of multiple identities, and to explore the relationship between omniscient perspective,limited perspective and linear narrative, non-linear narrative.The fourth section discusses the nonlinear narrative structure. Through the nonlinear film narrative feature discussion of the previous three chapters, try to make a classification of its structure, and illustrate them. Then, from the movie audio-visual language of the technical aspects of the film, elaborate the unique audio and visual effects of film non-line narrative. Finally, discusses the thought and technology of nonlinear narrative structure in a unified way.The fifth part discusses the film's nonlinear narrative dimension of acceptance from two angles-the acceptance of the subject and the object. Then analyze the reasons for the movie non-linear narrative popularity. The final analysis is the audience understanding bottom line for the film non-linear narrative way.Five-part not only of theoretical analysis, there are instances of the argument. After the discussion and conclusion of the theory of systematic non-linear narrative, sum up several issues that need attention in the use of non-linear narrative in the film with attempt to make some suggestions to the immediate creation of films, in order to make a healthier development of film narrative.
