Özet

Turning characters and events into narration as well as telling stories about them date back to the beginning of humanity. Storytelling has generally accepted rules being used for centuries. It is thought that these rules and narration structures can be used for material development for student movies. Here in this study it was aimed to use Propp's structural analysis method, defined in his work named "Morphology of the Folktale", as a narration development method based on cultural heritage. Within this framework, students taking the "Narration Design" course were asked to create a narration as an animation movie scenario by using Propp's 31 narrative functions, used for analyzing extraordinary tales, on the subjects they decided based on cultural heritage (narrations, beliefs, rituals, etc.). Therefore, it was focused on putting forth that Propp's structural analysis method can be used to create new narrations for visual mediums in addition to analyzing tales.
