9. Bharati Bharali-Assamese Cinematic Narratives
E-CineIndiaE-CineIndiaE-CineIndia July-September July-September July-September 2020 2020 2020 ISBN:ISBN:ISSN: 2582-2500 2582-2500 2582-2500 Assamese Cinematic Narratives: The Changing Landscape Article Dr. Bharati Bharali Assamese Cinematic Narratives: The Changing Landscape Dr. Bharati Bharali Introduction What constitutes a cinema and how its meaning or magnitude is constructed have captivated the film theorists for long. David Bordwell in his book Poetics of Cinema proposes that in narrative there are three dimensions that constitute the totality of narrative structure. These are Story world (its agent, circumstances and surroundings), plot structure (the arrangement of the parts of the narrative), and narration (moment by moment flow of information about the story world, 88). Defining what narrative is, Bordwell further says that it is ‘a process by which the film prompts the viewer to construct the fabula (the story’s state of affairs and event) on the basis of syuzet (the arrangement of the story’s state of affair in the narrative) organization and stylistic patterning’ (98). Narrative may be treated as a representation, considering the story’s world, its portrayal of reality and its broader meanings. Secondly, narrative has a structural value depending on a particular way of combining parts to make a whole. Thirdly narrative is a process; the activity of selecting, arranging and rendering story material in order to achieve specific time- bound effects on a perceiver. In visual analysis, images are considered as representation that gives ideas and meaning to the world of cinema. This is because, any kind of film and television product construct time and space with the conventions of the media and point of view of the director.
