Can Spectators Become Co-authors in the Process of a Story Narrative?: an Exploration of the Relationship Between Perceptions of Spectators and Narratives of Authors in Moving Images

This book explores the areas of human perception and story narrative in moving images. Engaged by the research question, ?Can spectators become co-authors in the process of a story narrative??, the research focuses on exploring the co-existence and contradiction between the values of spectators and an author in a process of a narrative by developing a new potential narrative approach with multiple perspectives. I hypothesise that spectators could participate with the story narrative process as co-authors. My key method is to engage with spectators? participation within a narration (story) by displaying story fragments across multiple screens simultaneously. The potential of having a story spread across multiple screens might bring further interest to authors to re-think the notion of a spectator and tell a story with multiple perspectives in a narrative process with spectators.
