The first part of this paper is an introduction.

With the understanding the characteristics of these basic art creation elements, I am able to clearly define the relationship between the narrative and character creation within the film and television plays.The third part discusses fact of a good character creation approach enriches the narrative. At the same time the narrative determines the direction of how characters are to be created. Based on this, I dive deep into the discussion of character creation tools specifically used in film and television such as: scene creation and design, lighting, color, shooting angles, visual composition, sounds and other elements. I am not only simply defining and categorizing these tools. I have also combined with a large number of examples in the discussion. Further more I also discussed the roles these tools plays during narrative. I have also discussed different narrative strategies used by each plays.The fourth part of the paper gives an overview of the main body of narrative, characters, story, plot, and the basic definition of the event and their roles in the TV and film play.
