碩士 === 世新大學 === 傳播管理學研究所(含碩專班) === 102 === With the tremendous growth of the mobile devices and the popularity of the Internet, the promotion of Micro Films emerges. Due to the fact that Micro Films possess the characteristic of short-time narration, the connectivity of the Internet enables the rapid dissemination of complete cinematic story through the devices with small-size screen. Therefore, Micro Films become a new favorite of official agencies and companies instantly. To realize the impact of communication technology on narration, the thesis begins with summing up the history of film and finds that the audio/video synchronization system rewrites the logic of story for movies, the widescreen and the three-dimensional screen change narrative space, and the film effects narrative time in the movies. Generalizing three levels from the narrative theory of Chatman, the story causality, the time sequence order, and the narrator viewpoint established the analysis structure. According to Bordwell’s norm classification standard to narrow the case range, five Micro Films with length of no more than eleven minutes are selected finally. The research found that the tendency of using the narrative technique by flashforward, flashback and repetition could connect two unobvious causality events with sound. From the narrator viewpoint, there are disclosure type, mission type and hostile type character in any case story. The discourse occurred in indoor environment such as the house and working place for the most part. Specifically, abovementioned factors show the emotional changes of character by close-up view.
