Narrative Art - Sequential Narrative

Sequential Narrative

A sequential narrative is very much like a continuous narrative with one major difference. A sequential narrative focuses on enframement to develop temporal development while a continuous requires criteria provided by the image itself. Each scene and action is represented within its frame as a unit. Each frame is a particular scene during a particular moment.

A sequential narrative is the type of narrative used in comics and manga.

Famous quotes containing the word narrative:

    Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
