Fabula

This article does not discuss the dominant use of these terms in narrative theory. Also film summary is unclear and inadequate.

In Film

Fabula (in contrast to syuzhet) is a pattern which perceivers of narratives create through assumptions and inferences. It is the developing result of picking up narrative cues, applying schemata, framing and testing hypotheses. Ideally, the fabula can be embodied in a verbal synopsis, as general or as detailed as circumstances require. (David Bordwell, 1985) ex: Pulp Fiction, Citizen Kane, Out of the Past.

In Gaming

Fabula is a roleplaying-game created by Tomas H.V.Mørkrid from Norway. It was published in Spring 1999 and so far received one supplement: "Rollespillet Fabula: Ormens Tideverv".
