Choosing your narrative voice

1 gostou•1,041 visualizações
Do you want readers to trust your narrator? Do you want to trick them? Do you want them to know everything about one character, or a little about everyone? (And do you know what the differences will achieve?) Alternatively, do you want to know why - as a reader - you react the way you do to certain narrative styles? This talk will guide you through the technique theories of relative distance, narrative levels, focalization, character privilege, and diegesis. It will look at how to deliberately cause a specific reaction in your audience, and help you make an informed decision as to which narrative voice best suits your story.
