How our film would relate to a narrative structure.


Narrative is the different factors in a story which brings order and structure in a linear and sequential way from beginning to the end. Often stories follow the same structure or have similar characteristics. I think that our film would have a narrative structure that was open ended, in which the audience are always left to surmise what will happen next and leave it up to their own suggestions and ideas. This also links with the narrative of enigma and the audience are left to solve a puzzle, for example, who is the person that is behind the phone and controlling it and it is it actually the phone that is causing him to disappear. Characters also have functions, such as being a hero or a villain. For example in our film, the main character that gets teleported would play a heroic role whereas whoever controls the phone, or who it belongs to would take the role of the villain this creates tension and expectation. Soundtrack is also vital in supporting narrative, in our film it allows the build-up of speed to happen, chase scenes are often percussive, rhythmic and up tempo then end when the climax is met, this is shown in our trailer, when the main character is teleported then the phone line goes dead and there is a long tone to show this.
