Story telling has been around us virtually since birth however this chapter takes a close look at how films may embody narrative as a form. Narrative is more likely to be in fictional films but can also be recognised in all sorts of genres. An example of this is a documentary- docos usually have a storyline, as we watch something grow or learn from start to finish about an occurrence or historical part of time. Narrative usually begins with a situation and a series of changes occur to a pattern of cause and effect. Then a new situation will occur which brings an end to the narrative. In films a typical narrative will have a beginning, middle or turning point and a resolution at the end. A film does not just start it begins. The opening offers a foundation for what is to come. In some cases, the plot will try to stimulate interest by bringing us into a series of actions that has already started. But not all films are this way some like to finish on a low, which can be seemingly frustrating for the audience. How we make sense of a narrative is by identifying its events and linking them to cause and effect, time and space. Cause and effect logic is every event within the narrative is presumed to be the result of a cause and the source of an effect. A film s narration not only manipulates the range of knowledge but also manipulates the depth of our knowledge. Narration is the way the plot presents story information to the audience. This process may shift between restricted and unrestricted ranges of knowledge and varying degrees of objectivity and subjectivity.
