Document Summary
Narrative: a cinematic structure in which writers have written and arranged events. Narration: the act of telling a story. Narrator: who or what tells the story. Responsible for what we see, how we see it, how long we see it for. Common in film noir and the 40"s and 50"s. This person knows how the movie is, and he may tell the audience the ending before it comes (hopelessness and defeat) This could also be a person who is not even in the movie. They can give context and descriptions and comment on everything because they are all-knowing. These also include title cards, which were common for silent films. The narrator or the storytellers knows everything in the story, or they are going along with us in finding out what"s happening. Round: complex character who changes through out the story (richi and bruno in. Bicycle thieves, jack and danny in the shining)
