Narrative, Enigma, Story and Plot

Narrative

This is how a story of a film is told. This helps the viewer to naturally make sense of things by connecting events and making inferences based on those connections. Narrative can correspond to genre because some story-lines are typical of specific genres, e.g. in a romance film, the generic story-line is 'boy gets girl, loses girl, gets girl back'. 


Narrative Enigmas

These are used to limit information that is given to the audience, which allows them to stay interested with the film as it creates curiosity and makes the audience have a guess as to what events are going to happen. 

Story and Plot

The narrative story of a film is what happens in the film.
The narrative plot of a film is what order the story is told in. 

The technique of re-arranging the events of a story makes the narrative more interesting and will mean that the audience stay engrossed.
