Classical narrative structures are a central feature to any genre of hollywood produced movies, in which a story is beginning told to the audience through this media. However, it is quite seldom that spectators of the movies will be able to see the specfic result of the narrative, due to the structure base created by the director. These narratives are created to give an effortless approach to the audience, who are blind-sided by the no trace of the narrative structure. “Narrative process follows an orderly pattern in which an initial state of affairs is introduced, after something occurs to disturb this equilibrium.” Classical hollywood narratives were thoroughly character-centered between 1895 and 1960, with various different issues that arise characters are known to be “stable, knownable, and psychologically coherent indiviuals” quoted by David Bordwell. Narratives are scheduled precisely in the pre-production stage of film process; in order to combine the…

The narrative structure of As I Lay Dying is fundamental in understanding the complex tensions, motives and emotions of the characters; especially that of Darl Bundren and his relationships with both the reader and those surrounding him in the novel. Although each character faces his or her own personal challenge in the novel, Darl is the sole character that has the most evident effect on his family, community members and the reader. The narrative structure forces the reader to consider that…

In Chronicle of a Death Foretold there is a progression to the narrative structure. There is also a chronology to it although there are times where there are flashbacks or mention of things that happen later but other than that it pretty much follows the order in which the events happen. The first part of the narrative structure would be the morning of Santiago’s death. The morning is pretty much mentioned and elaborated on in the first chapter. Several characters are also mentioned in this…

Personally, I never developed an outlook that would require a sensible narrative. I was more focused on the scenes that held action scenes in their episodes. Recently, it became a priority for me to become more selective in the narrative composition. I knew that it held much more weight since it would capture my attention in the long term.

When looking at a built structure, the first thing that anyone will be drawn to is its overall composition. Regardless of the viewer’s previous disposition, level of education, or mindset this nearly universal constant will remain true. As the user continues to focus on the structure, smaller gestures will reveal themselves. Texture, colour, mass, and light may be some simple examples of this, however they all share the same trait; they may all be considered “tectonics” of a project. The…

a film that many of us have watch. Directed and written by Leigh Whannell. This film develops a linear narrative structure where the director tries to implement two completely different emotions to the viewer with Suspense. The anxiety brought on by a partial uncertainty as every typical horror creates “fear”. Also, the feeling of a young girl missing and trying to reach her mother who is dead.
