What I learned.

Today I learned what linear and non linear means. Which means if the sequence is in order. For example if something is Non linear it will contain something along the lines of flash backs. However, if something is linear, then it will have a beginning, middle and end.

I also learned what Realism and non realism means. For example, if the plot was to do with fantasy, then it would be non realism and if something seemed to fit in reality and it has a chance of happening in real life then it is considered realism.

A Single strand and a multi strand basically means how many point of views of the story is coming from. The film we watched called 'Joyride' is an example of a single strand film as it only comes from the perspective of the one, main male actor.

Open and closed narrative depends on how the story ends. If for example the film ends leaving the audience to wonder what happened after the film had ended, then it is considered as a closed narrative as the film did not make it clear as to what happened in the end. But if the film makes it clear to the audience as o what happened in the end or gave some kind of indication as to what happened, then it is an Open narrative.
