The Narrative Curve

Could this possibly be the answer I have been looking for in terms of an application for my contrasting textures? Similar to the 'Yellow Brick Road' concept, the narrative curve* could be symbolically represented in terms of a textural symphony - the user follows a path of textures, each one representing a part of the narrative curve. For example, the introduction to the 'story' has a smooth texture, representing calm and peace, as opposed to a texture beginning to get more and more rough as the conflict begins to arise. I think this idea has potential :)

*The Narrative Curve

1.            Introduce the situation

2.            Introduce the characters

3.            Describe conflict

4.            Develop conflict

5.            Resolve conflict

The diagram above illustrates a classic narrative curve. The narrative peaks after the beginning in order to engage the audiences interest and entice them to watch through to the end. Showing your audience a glimpse of what happens at the end often does this. The curve then drops slightly as important information about the character is given. The conflict is then introduced which helps to re-build the narrative curve towards the climax of the story, the peak of the curve. The story and its conflict are then resolved and the tension subsides at the end. The ending in a classic narrative is designed to resolve the tensions created during the story and to give full closure (a conclusive ending).
