narration can be a pain


Awhile back I read the book 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky. After show and tell this week, I got to thinking about this book as a narrative. The story is told by a teenage boy through letters he's written to an anonymous person. I continued to think about this book as I worked on my iMovie. There are many different ways to approach narration. I'd been having trouble deciding how to narrate my iMovie - an actual narrator, just music or words on the screen. Not to mention wondering if I should use first person or third-person omniscient or even a limited third-person omniscient! Thinking about alternative narration methods helped me step back and think about an interesting way to do it.
