Narrative verses Non-narrative
What makes it a narrative?
- Three similar events are taking place – creating structure.
- Progression of each event – all three clips are building to a climax
- Consequence of death is avoided in all three clips
- Meets expectations from the title
- All exploring themes of religion or the supernatural
- Headings create structure
- Journey from one frame to another
- Climax
What makes it non-narrative?
- No conclusion
- Begins within a story
- Doesn’t explain what brought the characters to this point
- No causality
- No resolution
- No character progression
- Characters don’t show/have motivation – they are props.
