Ways of visual storytelling in fiction films and their reflection on the book

Abstract

This project presents a refletion of fiction film 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 in the printed medium the book emerges as a reflection of the complex visual narrative of a film, chosen for this purpose, namely The Grad Budapest Hotel, by 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 opublication focuses on mirroring as biberally possible, the bond between visual storytelling in cinema and the book.
