Abstract

Spatial narrative can not only serve as a narrative agent to promote the development of the film plot, but also can serve as a metaphor to convey the theme and significance of the film. The spatial narrative promotes the development of plot and characters through scenes, shots and angles, and as a metaphor conveys the theme and meaning through spatial layout and color. The spatial narrative in "The Crow and the Sparrow" plays an important role in film narrative and provides a new perspective and method for the study of film narrative.
