Notice the framing and exposure, it feels akward and Nana faces out of the image. The window outside is well exposed, showing the bright day, emphasising the darkness inside.

Sin City


Sin City uses the graphic novel for a basis of its design. It uses a high lighting ratio, which gives the film a dark and ominous feel. Occastional use of colour is used to highlight characters, focus the audience.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Marriage painting of Giovanni Arnolfini and his wife Giovanna Cenami

Example of an early non linear narrative.
With a painting the viewer has a personal perspective on how they view the narrative. Similarly interactive narrative gives the audience control over the perspective of the narrative but also allows them to change it, make the outcome more solid and less "imaginary".
