la antehistoria Explanation: Expresión hollywoodiense, ni el Shorter Oxford se ha enterado aún. Es la historia de la historia. Según la película o guión sugeriría también: pre-saga (p.ej: Star Wars), la historia antecedente,...En fín, si se las inventan en Sunset Boulevard, nous aussi!

prequel = antehistoria, backstory = información extra Explanation: Prequel is what happened before the story. Star Wars is a very good example. The Phantom Menace was written after the first three Star Wars stories though it is set before their time. They are the sequels (sequelae) to it. So, Hollywood invented a word to describe its relation to them ==> prequel. Prequel = antehistoria, lo que sucedió anteriormente Backstory is not the same as prequel. Backstory is background information that is useful to the writer/author but does not need to be included in the story for the reader/viewer. For example, if I know that my character grew up in the same neighborhood as I did, I have a context that is useful to me in deciding what s/he would do in a given situation. The reader/viewer does not need to know all this, all that person wants to know is what my character will do. The extra information is backstory. backstory = información extra, datos no importantes al lector que ayudan al escritor en la formación del personaje Espero que le ayuden las explicaciones. |
