Abstract: Western film narratology has a tradition of categorizing the recorded demonstration narration(such as that in films, television, etc.) as demonstration narrative related to theatrical performance, rather than as recorded demonstration narrative or what combines certain characteristics of both. This understanding can be attributed to a failure to notice the limitation of Husserl's perception theory that it is unable to effectively distinguish illusion from perception. In fact, many basic characteristics of live narrative demonstration such as live theatre performance are absent in recorded demonstration narration; that the latter tends to proceed through the process of media recording cannot be ignored. Such negligence will result in the difficulty to accurately and effectively distinguish a myriad of narrative types. Undoubtedly, the recorded demonstration narrative has a dual nature, namely, it combines some characteristics of both on-site demonstration narrative and documentary storytelling. Furthermore, academic discussions on the separation framework and narrative subject of the demonstration narrative usually follow the theoretical framework of classical narratology, which is limited by a logocentric vision that hinders scholars engaged in discussion from completely returning to the genre itself. The creative mechanisms, fields of occurrence, symbolic media and existing forms of demonstration narrative are far more complex than those of the novel. The narrative framework of a demonstration narrative straddles two fields: one separates the inside from the outside of the narrated text, the other emulates the daily creation and living experience of the multitudinous narrative subjects to be found outside the narrated text but participate in the construction of the narrative——the demarcation itself is abstract. Meanwhile, the roles of the subnarrators such as the originator(or illocutionary source) and the performer are always relative and variable, and even some originators and performers are interchangeable. The performers fall into a category of narrators who directly tell the story with symbols such as body, posture, behavioral action, and so forth, while voice-overs are narrators in the sense of fictional narrative.
