Research: Narrative Structures

Linear: (Sequential) Events go in chronological order. Help audience to follow events easily.

Non-Linear: (Non Sequential) Events portrayed in non chronological order. Makes the audience more confused during the events linked together at the end. 

Realist: Believable by the audience because they may appear to be real events and are based on a true story.

Anti Realist: Not compatible with reality, may use lots of special effects and editing to achieve this. 

Open Endings: When the audience is left in suspense at the end of the programme, this leaves them questioning what might happen next. 

Closed Endings: When the audience gets a conclusive finish and no questions are left un answered.

Narrative Devices: Used to add to the narrative making it more interesting, for example cliff hangers and flashbacks. 

Flashbacks: When an event that has already occurred in the past is put into a scene that is in the present day.
