Narrative Theory's and how my video uses this theory

Narrative is the way the story is organised.
The following list are all elements that are part of the Narrative Theory:
  • Time
  • Closure
  • Enigma

Time

The narrative theory presents a period of time it covers and does it go in chronical order.

My video uses a flashback but not in obivous way as we see two sides to my artist due to a hiar vcut incident I had between filming. I used the "haircut" so that when we see when she is performing she has a shoter hair cut and this is part of the flashback and slow tranisition are used to show this. I would say my music video spans over 1 year.

Closure

The lose ends of the narrative is tied up and the audience is never left thinking what happens next.

My video follows this part of the theory as it doees not leave the audience hanging and has a nice ending whereby the ending make sense with what the has been going on throughout the video.

Enigma

The enigma is the problems created within a narrative and the problems that occured.

There are no real problems within my music videos that are created and resolved.

Classical Hollywood Narrative

This narative is linear and is in a diffinate sequences. They have few sub plots and has a tendency towards closure.

My music video does not follw this structure as it's quite realistic and isn't glamourised in the setting or costume. It doesn't follow any particular sequences of events and flashes back and forth between settings.
