Ways of visual storytelling in fiction films & their reflection on the book.
This project presents a reflection of fiction films on a different medium, the book. The inter-disciplinary research focuses on the fields of cinema and film, visual narrative and storytelling with editorial design. Through a series of experimentations on the printed medium the book emerges as a reflection of the complex visual narrative of a film, chosen for this purpose, namely The Grand Budapest Hotel from Wes Anderson. By examining the fundamentals of graphic design and cinema both separately and as a whole, and applying them to the printed medium the project aims to explore the representation of narrative within different media. The resulting publication focuses on mirroring as liberally as possible, the bond between visual storytelling in cinema and the book.
The thesis was presented in ICTVC (International Conference of Visual Communication & Typography in Patras, 2019)
and it can be found at the library of ESAD Matosinhos in Porto and also online.
