'Narrative' is an important concept in new media creation. Far more than just story-telling, the idea of 'narrative' invites us to think about structures, processes and systems - essential to time-based organization and spatial composition across diverse media. This course examines narrative strategies for all kinds of creative situations: from photo sequence to moving image aesthetics, montage theories for time-based media, including fiction, documentary, animation, experiments and even ubiquitous screen contexts, game, hypertext, and immersive environments. At the end of the course, students should be able to use the concept of narrative flexibly, playfully, and strategically in their future art experiments and to reflect on the diverse meanings and applications of narrative. The course is intended for creative practitioners and so the focus will be on the impact of narrative concepts and methods on the practice of creative media. An important aim of the course is to encourage students to reflect on their own choices as creative practitioners. Lectures and assignments will highlight the interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary of narrative concepts, for instance by making reference to cognitive psychology, philosophy, literature/cinema/game studies, etc.
