Narrative Structure in Short and Serial Narrations for the web

Abstract

In the current context, audiovisual production and consumption in different screens have been increasing, thanks to the easy access to the audio-visual production technologies and to the low costs in audiovisual productions, which have made possible narrative interests of both professionals and amateurs, who have participated in the production of new formats; one of them, web series.

Nevertheless, at the moment scripts for such formats are being constructed, it has been noticed a notable abscense de literature which provides hints for the creation of serial narrative structure and above all with optimum technical temporalities for the web and mobile devices.

From this statement, this text intends - from a careful revision of some web series at the light of literature in both narrative and audio-visual production, to propose keys for the construction of narrative structures for such an emerging form.
