| Summary: | The research and material contained in this thesis will examine short story theory
from current perspectives in the field and provide a response to questions posed about
the composition of short fiction. A critical introduction will take into account these
theories and lead into a collection of five short stories written from a filmmaking
perspective. The collection of work provided represents an attempt to break stereotype in
the construction and formatting of what is considered standard short story material.
Focus for the collection concerns sensory perception, elements of film (flashback
sequencing and extended exposition) and gender/race identity. Through the critical
introduction and short story collection, the completed thesis will prove that the study and
practice of creative writing cannot be regulated by a set of technical guidelines. |
