Abstract: Abstract: From the view of the "crossmedia" theory, the film narration is no longer pure, strict or traditional, which not only contains but also crosses filmtelevision, that is, comprising a lot of media such as screen images and mobile telephone films (including computer or Internet films) as well as display images. Either the film image or the screen image or the display image has its own emphasis. This fact indicates the transformation of the film narrative carrier and the differentiation of the film narrative pattern. Also it predicates that the contemporary film narration is going from singularity to multiplicity, from simplicity to complexity, thus gradually forming a new cultural situation, in which the tendency of multiple narrative coexisting and the competition of multiple administrative levels are mutually complementary.

Key words: film narration, image carrier, transformation, differentiation, Key words: crossmedia
