Something that I have been thinking about a lot in terms of storytelling is the impact of body language (particularly when describing character), gestural cues, colour and tone. This idea stems from my interpretation of foreign films.
At the moment I am working as an au pair in Italy, so a lot of what I am watching is in Italian. Although I am trying to learn a bit of Italian, there is a different readability of a narrative when the immediate dialogue is taken away. This is an aspect I want to explore further. Practically, I think it might be interesting to start drawing some scenes from foreign/silent films and comparing how the actual story line of the spoken words differ/coincide with that of the tone set in a scene.
I also want to start looking at frames and compositions within a range of different genres of film, as well as illustrated pictures books, to see how the placement of elements can influence the interpretation of a story.
