Abstract

Narrative networks are network graphs that allow for the simultaneous visualization of the structure and content of narratives. A narrative network is created by identifying elements such as characters, events, and locations in a narrative and visualizing the connections that define their relationships with each other. This process also allows for the visualization of the differentiation of the network along the time axis according to event time and narrative time. When identifying the elements that make up narratives, it is possible to create a "narrative experience base", a special database, by utilizing the concept of experience contexts. In this way, all the experiences the characters have within the narrative are recorded in their entirety and in their full context. By visualizing the narrative experience base in the form of a force-oriented network graph, an interactive digital model of the narrative is obtained. This study aims to investigate and develop the process of creating a video narrative network graph by applying the narrative experience base approach, previously tested for text-format story narratives, to video-format narratives. The videograph software developed as a result of the research process, which was conducted using a design-based research approach, was tested on a sample video and the findings were evaluated.

Özet

Anlatı ağları anlatıların yapısını ve içeriğini aynı anda görselleştirmeye olanak sağlayan ağ çizgeleridir. Bir anlatı ağı anlatıdaki karakterler, olaylar, mekânlar vb. öğelerin belirlenmesi ve birbirleriyle ilişkilerini tanımlayacak bağlantıların görselleştirilmesiyle oluşturulur. Bu süreç olay zamanı ve anlatı zamanına göre zaman ekseninde ağın farklılaşmasını da görüntülemeye olanak sağlar. Anlatıları oluşturan öğeleri belirlerken deneyim bağlamları kavramından yararlanılarak özel bir veri tabanı olan bir "anlatı deneyim tabanı" oluşturmak mümkündür. Böylece anlatıdaki karakterlerin öyküde yaşadıkları tüm deneyimler bütün bağlamlarıyla kayda alınmış olur. Anlatı deneyim tabanının kuvvet yönlendirmeli ağ çizgesi biçiminde görselleştirilmesiyle anlatının etkileşimli dijital bir modeli elde edilir. Bu çalışmada daha önce metin formatındaki öykü anlatıları için denenen anlatı deneyim tabanı yaklaşımının video formatındaki anlatılar için uygulanarak bir video anlatı ağı çizgesi oluşturma sürecinin araştırılması ve geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Tasarım tabanlı araştırma yaklaşımıyla yürütülen araştırma süreci sonucunda geliştirilen videograf yazılımı örnek bir video üzerinde denenerek elde edilen bulgular değerlendirilmiştir.
