Narratology is the theory of narrative; you can also call it the theory of storytelling. The aim of this video is to present a pictorial guide, mainly for beginners. It is based on as many simple graphics and animations as I was able to access or create. There are many types of stories, and many types of narratologies, and therefore we must be selective. This overview is an attempt to combine mainly four approaches: 1) Classical Narratology, 2) Natural Narratology, 3) Focalization Theory (point-of-view theory), 4) Transmedial Narratology. By Manfred Jahn.
