<p>How Films Tell Stories presents a concise and engaging introduction to the often complex study of narrative theory. In part one, Aspects of Story, theories of plot structure, character, and fictional worlds are applied to cinema. Part two, Aspects of Discourse, discusses how the story is communicated, examining techniques of cinematic narration such as time manipulation, perspective, editing, and sound. Each chapter concludes with questions encouraging readers to produce their own analyses of the narrative strategies of films. A supplemental website with video links accompanies the book.</p>
