narrative

We have just started to learn about different narratives.

Narrative means the story or the plot. This is the way the story is organised.

There are three different Elements of narratives. These are:-
  1. time (period it covers)
  2. closure (everything gets tied up)
  3. enigma (the problems)

There is a type of narrative that is called "classical Hollywood narrative", which its name suggets, is used in classic hollywood films. These types of films have certain elements too. these are:-

  1. linear (in order)
  2. few, if any, sub plots
  3. tendency towards closure
