Structure of the Cinematic Scenario in the Novels of Mohammed Hassan Alwan

Abstract

      The development of the contemporary Arab novel is a very important issue and needs a change in the traditional narrative structure. This matter can be achieved in several ways, the most important of which is the use of new technologies that perform the narrative formation process in a dramatic, graphic manner. So, a section of the modern narrative structure relied on techniques and methods in the field of cinema, This is because  the fictional structure  is characterized by its openness to many artistic styles adopted by the rest of the arts.   This overlap between cinema and the novel takes place due to the correlated  spaces between the two artists in the use of both techniques by the other, so that the cinema invokes new narrative worlds that narrate it in a cinematographic way, and these (cinematic) techniques abound in the narrative texts of (Muhammad Hassan Alwan), and thus the novel creates innovative methods. Its text is adapted from cinema styles and techniques  The narration elements from the time, place, events and people of the novel will appear in the scenario in such a  dramatic) way as if they are real.  Thus,  we notice that  the movement in all joints of the narrative scenes is from present towards future (anticipation) or towards the past (retrieval) or  there is a linear time (sequential). There is also the movement between places which  that establishes the possibility of the scene alongside the movements of other things that embody the narrative scene.
