Idea of Narrative Structure

The narrative structure is basically the order of events in which something occurs and the point of view from which the events of the story are revealed. With discussing ideas for the narrative structure of our film in the previous meeting we have decided to display the film in chronological order. This means the film will be shown with everything happening in sequence starting with the events that have happened earliest to the events that happened last. The events in the film will obviously be on different days and we will show that time has passed by using fades; this will instantly show the audience that significant time has passed. At the beginning of the film we as a group have decided to show the protagonist to straight away introduce the mood and atmosphere of the life he is leading. For the duration of the film we have chosen to bring the protagonist into conflict (looking for ex girlfriend and harassing her friends) which will disturb the equilibrium. As the protagonist is becoming isolated the audience will then start to sympathise with him during the conflict. For the ending we have decided to have a resolution that ends with the protagonist dealing with the conflict. The film will be seen from the protagonist’s point of view as the story revolves around him.
