IDEA 2: Narration

Narration is another good way to tell a story as it allows the audience to get an immediate bond with the main character and we are sometimes told of previous event which help to move the story along without taking up footage.

Narration takes place at the beginning of every episode of my favourite television show How I Met Your Mother :) In which the protagonist Ted Mosby is telling the story of how he met his children's mother whilst they sit on the sofa. Throughout the episode Teds narration helps to add either added information or comic relief.

However, although this is a a great narrative idea it would be impossible to create an audible narration as our brief to create a SILENT film : So an easy alternative could possibly be subtitles.
