FICTION AS BASE FOR LITERARY AND MEDIA WRITING

Fiction is the term for any invented literary narrative. It refers to novels, short stories and other works of art that do not try to tell true stories. While they may be inspired by real events or people fiction writers create characters dialogue and plots completely from their imagination. Story telling becomes the basis of most other entertainment media like movies, television and comic books. In the 20th century, new media expanded, including motion pictures radio and television. These used fictional story telling structures borrowed from novelsor stage drama.

In modern times thousands of works of fiction are published in many languages every year. Electronic media like audio books and e-books offer new ways for readers to enjoy stories of all kinds. Self publishing and online publishing make it possible for writers to find readers outside of traditional publishing places. In a wider sense, fiction remains the primary form of narrative in most of the media. Movies, television shows, and stage dramas still depend upon the fictional forms to tell stories. While the future of print media is uncertain, the art of the story has already established a strong presence in the field of electronic media.

A visual narrative is a type of story that is told completely through visual media. There are no restrictions on the types of narratives that can be made in a visual manner. Visual narrative as a story telling style permits a great deal of variety in methodology and presentation. Such a narrative can be a film, a graphic novel or comic book or a series of images. Here artists and story tellers have a great deal of space for experimentation. Visual narrative allows the story teller to tell stories from many different angles. They use a wide range of methods also to communicate various aspects of the narrative. Written narratives and visual narratives have much in common. They have the same goals. Visuals narrative is always aiming to communicate a story of some form just as a written story is. They even use similar plot elements, complex characters, conflicts, leading to the further development of the characters.

Visual narrative primarily depends on images to communicate ideas by incorporating other media. This is done to enrich the story. Films often depend on speech and other audio components, even though most of the action is visual in nature. Most of the artists or story tellers like to tell their narratives by using images. These types of narrative will be highly informative and complex as any film or story.
