Document Summary
The narrator is an objective observer who can be relied on to relate the events accurately. The camera would have to record all the action through the eyes of the character, essentially making the viewer the protagonist: the omniscient. The narrators are not participants in a story but are all knowing observers who supply readers with all the facts they need to know to appreciate the story. Each time the director moves the camera, viewers are offered a new point of view from which to evaluate the scene: the third person. A nonparticipating narrator tells a story from the consciousness of a single character. Narrator penetrates the mind of a character: the objective. It doesn"t enter the consciousness of any character, but merely reports events from the outside, allowing the readers to interpret for themselves: queer cinema, gay liberation movement. Its inspiration came from other revolutionary groups of the 1960s.
