School of Cinematic Arts, College of Architecture and Design, Effat University, Saudi Arabia.
Abstract
Writing for animation focuses on the description of the event's visual perception in detail, as well as describing the movement and the performance of the characters and all the details that appear on the screen. In contrast, in live-action films, there will be more attention to dialogue and scene descriptions without drowning in enough details. The writing stage often goes through several stages before. This process includes creating and preparing the characters and world they live in and the characters' details. Including their conflict; this conflict can be established between different characters or the internal conflict to a character that pushes the drama forward, then resolving the problem of the conflict or reaching an open end and perhaps reaching the starting point again. Scripts process starts with a "Logline," a summary of the idea, and a paragraph illustrating the main story. Then the writer begins to formulate the events according to a narrative structure that he defines for the dramatic situation of the events in the first draft, which are treated dramatically to reach the final draft. There are several narrative structure techniques that writers can adapt to their scripts to write for an animated movie. Still, all of them depend on the Genre "genre" of the story, the length of the show, and also the purpose of producing the movie. so in this article, we will shed a spot of light on multiple narrative structures that are used to write for animated films.
