Narrative Theory (TBC)

When considering narrative we have to analyze our own Music video as it is apart of our Evaluation questions therefore we have to always link what we are learning in some way to  our music videos.

Narrative
Like with the thrillers we did last year a Narrative is the way the story is organized, it's the plot. The different parts of the narrative are fundamental to the successfulness of the plot:

• Time: This is whether or not the media type run chronologically for example it could be weeks, months, or years. this all depends on whether the person behind the making of the media type wanted their product to span in realtime or not, Real time is the time span is the same as the audiences  for example a film can be a 1 hour 30 minutes long if the film is in real time that film's events take place in an hour 30 but if it is not the film can make jumps in time it can go from weeks to years. Some films that use real time are Run lola Run and Before Sunset both film's events take place within a day. Some films that don't use real time are One day and Pulp Fiction.
• Closure: This refers to whether all the problems that arise are sorted by the end of the media type, so in Run Lola run the problem is sorted by the end and were essentially given a happy ending.In real life we do not have any closure. 
• Enigma: The enigma is the actual problems that need to be solved, in run lola run the problem is that they need to find money to pay back the mob.
