Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 廣播電視學研究所 === 99 === Fiction performs through text. Photography performs through images. Movie performs with video; with the help of montage, video has meanings. All of them are traditional narratives, and digital narrative contains all of the above. How does digital narrative work these out? This research aims to discuss “the database narratives”. As a type of digital narrative, how does database narrative completely dismantle the traditional narrative elements into a digital format?
By analyzing the reference documents, we could find the relation between theories of the traditional narrative and digital narrative. Through the selected piece of work “Bleeding Through Layers of Los Angeles:1920-1986”, this research focuses on "narrative structure," and "point of view," trying to understand the way of storytelling in digital times. This research concludes with the following:
1. Open narrative structure renders a text more interpretations.
2. Inter-textuality enhances the scale of narrative to the most.
3. Interactive narrative enables readers more interactions with the text.
