right your time we're gonna be carrying on with the

second part of the salmon.

We're gonna be looking at narrative structures so that we

looked at me and said We also looked like technical

elements in the film and specifically we looked at sleepy.

Hold up.

This week, we're gonna be looking at its narrative structures,

which is a posh word for storytelling techniques and films.

Okay, and how films are put together in regards to

the plot.

So we are going to be looking at different storytelling

techniques in film.

So let's look at one of them now.

So we have non linear to begin with.

And this is where the events of the film are

told out of sequence.

So they're not told in order.

And it's not for the audience to put them together

in the head, which can be really confusing.

So if anyone's in the film Dunkirk, which is about

a very famous event in World War Two, where Lord

soldiers were trying to get off the beach but German

soldiers bombed the beach and attacked it, which ultimately had

serious consequences for the British troops.

So the film is all about the perspective of all

these different soldiers who were trying to get off the

beach. There's also a guy flying in a helicopter.

Sorry, not helicopter and airplane over the beach.

And it's all about how those stories all linked together.

But we're all told out of sequence.

It's really confusing, but it's a very good films.

I would highly recommend watching it.

Now. A lot of people not have sinned on a

lot of non linear films because it's not really the

trendiest thing to do.

But if you do get chance watching on linear filled

by all means, watch it and you'll get what I

mean in regards to being quite confusing.

Then we have circular storytelling, So this is where the

story ends where it begins.

So I think about stuff like friends.

Nothing happens to the character that changes during friends, and

they always end up back in the flat, don't they?

They don't really go anywhere, and it's this idea of

It's over and over and over and over and over

again that it's just rinse.

Repeat, rinse, repeat, rinse.

Repeat So nothing changes.

For the characters to get put in different situations, they

might have to go to a different location, but they

will always end up back in the home in the

apartment, and they don't change at all.

They remain the same character.

So I think about stuff like big Bang theory, how

I met your mother.

They all follow this idea of circular storytelling.

And again, they're all sitcoms, which is obviously an abbreviation

for situational comedies.

So that's where characters I put in the same location.

And it's all about how the humor from that situation

comes about.

Okay, then we have linear storytelling, which is what we

all know and love.

And that's everything that you guys are about in regards

to the kind of films that you watch.

So linear storytelling is when the story is told in

order, and at the end of the film, the characters

have changed and they've had a big growth.

And again, they've had experiences that make them think differently

about the world around them.

Okay, so that's linear storytelling where we have a clear

beginning, middle and end, which is going to lead on

to my next point.

So the most common way to tell a story in

the film is a free act structure, and that is

the basic road map to how we tell a story

in a film.

And you might have seen this in English, but it's

a tiny bit different in films in history books.

So in the frag structure we have Act one, which

is the beginning actor, which is a middle factory, which

is the end.

Act one is all the setup.

So this is where introduced to the characters in the

different situations and basically what the character is going to

achieve by the end of the film.

We are told in this part.

Okay, by the end of Act one, were then going

into actor, which is all the confrontation.

So this is where all the things happen that stopped

the character, getting what they want by the end of

the film.

So this could be a fight.

It could be they get dumped.

Its anything that is a roadblock to them, achieving what

they want by the end of the film, so usually

how it happens is the first point of conflict.

Things get bad.

The second part of conflict, things get worse, and then

the third point of conflict, things can't get any worse.

Okay, It gets really bad for him.

Which leads on to this where you can see it

says plot point to So in a film, we call

this a revelation and usually this point in the film,

it's something that happens.

It changes everything.

We thought we knew about the characters.

So the most famous revelation of all times in Star

Wars, where doctor says I am your father, it changed

everything. We thought we knew about the character and it

changed everything.

We thought we knew about the story of Star Wars.

Okay, so a revelation you guys will not as a

plot to us, but the proper name for his revelation.

It's something that happens towards the end of the film

that changes everything.

We thought we knew about the characters and everything we

thought we knew about the story, which then leads onto

this last bit here, which is the third act.

So this is the resolution.

So this is where everything sort it out.

So the character gets what they want and achieves everything

that they wanted to achieve over the duration of the

film. It's how the story naturally plays out to a

satisfying conclusion.
