Edinburgh University Press The Sense of Film Narration
This book investigates the sensuous qualities of narration in the feature length fiction film. The Sense of Film Narration examines films that combine different types of images and sounds in a way that brings out their sensuous qualities in an especially vivid manner. It demonstrates that a film's sensuous qualities can be intimately connected to its storytelling processes. Through close textual analysis of films such as Amores Perros, Double Take, Toy Story 2, Palindromes and Magnolia, this book highlights how films can make viewers particularly aware of their senses in order to help them understand the events, behaviours and attitudes within a film's fictional world. The crash scenes in Amores Perros; films that feature images of different textures/properties (e.g. b&w versus colour; digital video vs. film): Double Take and Toy Story 2 & 3; films that feature multiple voiceover: All About Eve, Happy Together, Gummo, and Magnolia and films that feature multiple actors playing the same character: Don't Look Back, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, Palindromes, and I'm Not There.

Edinburgh University Press The Sense of Film Narration
This book investigates the sensuous qualities of narration in the feature-length fiction film. Ian Garwood provides a comprehensive account of existing work on film narration and offers an overview of the sensuous aspects of cinematic storytelling - for example, the image becomes 'soft' in order to signal the representation of a character's memory or a 'scratchy' version of a song plays on the soundtrack in order to shape the viewer's understanding of the images it accompanies - as demonstrated through a broad selection of films. The films used as case studies in the book are particularly 'multi-layered', in that they all make extensive use of materials with sensuously contrasting visual and/or aural properties: for example, films whose images are a combination of colour and monochrome e.g. The Wizard of Oz whose soundtracks feature multiple voiceover narrators e.g. All About Eve or which feature multiple performers portraying the same character e.g. the Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There.
