영문 초록

A film narrative is a system of controlled informations. In this research,the focalization and plot of Christopher Nolan’s Following(1988) is analyzed to show how story informations can be controlled in order to achieve the narrative goals in film noir. The narrative of Following is structured in a dual frame. The outer frame(#1∼3 and #67∼68) narrated by the grand narrator is a narrative with zero focalization. The 1st frame narrative(#4∼12 and #58∼66) in which Bill appears as a storyteller is a narrative with external focalization. In the first half of this frame(#4∼12), the story informations comes from Bill and it helps spectators feel empathy for him. In the other half of it(#58∼66), because the story informations comes from not Bill but a policeman, spectators can be surprised with Bill. The 2nd frame narrative(#13∼57), a story told by Bill, is a narrative with internal focalization through Bill. But the deviations from internal focalization through Bill are found two times. The surprise and suspense of this film occur due to these deviations. In short, the control of quality and quantity of story information through the changes of focalization and levels of narration makes it possible to occur mystery, surprise and suspense for spectators in this film noir. Besides, this film has a very complicated syuzhet. The order and arrangement of story information of this film is also controlled by syuzhet and this shows that Following focuses more on surprise which is distinct in film noir than suspense.
