Narrative notes

• Narrative is about the tail, a story of facts
• In the media, narrative is an event shaper
• Can be changed, never right or wrong
• Voice of narrative can vary
• Organises time and space in compressed form
• Refers to all events - presented and inferred 
• Refers to everything audibly or visibly present
• The way the story is told - how meaning is constructed 
• Constructed through camerawork, lighting and mise-en-scene
• No right way to do narrative

• Is what I am seeing linear?
• What meaning is made out of digesis?
• What micro elements best illustrate the narrative approach?
• How do my codes add up to a narrative style or approach?
• How does the narrative serve conflict?
