Document Summary
Narrative: narrative is international, transhistorical, transcultural, all classes /human groups have their narratives, links individual actions and events to a chain reaction and events. A single is the result of a past event and the cause of future ones. A chain of events linked by cause and effect and occurring in time and space. (73: narrative in daily life is different to that in film/arts. Film is highly artificial constructed, it has a definite beginning, a middle and a definite end. Some materials between adjacent plots can be omitted (blanks), so it"s for viewers to fill in by imaging what happened in the blank. Most plots in film belongs to diegesis, but some are not. e. g. music in movie. External source music: characters in movie cannot hear, so it"s non-diegetic music. Plot: explicitly presented events+ + added nondiegetic material. Drop viewers to middle of something and force to embrace the story, or slowly bring viewer into the scenes.
