Abstract

In this paper we consider what aspects have to be considered in order to write down the film narrative structure and formalise it, such as the elements of the medium that can play a narrative role –sound, image, etc–, the language used by the target audience –adults– and the possibilities that thus open up, such as the different levels of enunciation, the times in which the information is given –certain, ambiguous or false–, and the constant re–elaboration that this particularity allows. We also include cultural and moral issues, which are part of the narrative. These aspects, when annotated and interrelated, play a relevant role in the elaboration of the intended formalisation. We first review the existing methodologies, focused on developing software for annotation from different ontologies or cinematographic techniques, which mostly describe phenomena not related to the narrative structure itself. Then we list what aspects should be taken into account and we comment on them, to later develop a proposal for annotation methodology of the film narrative structure.
