Group 2: Narrative


"How do the films you have studied (V & CoM) relate to the concept of Narrative?"

Classic Hollywood Narrative:

  1. Cause & Effect
  2. Character driven, resolving their problems based on their (motivations/desires/emotions)
  3. Opposition & Conflict (protagonist/antagonist)
  4. 3 Act structure (equilibrium, disruption, resolution)
  5. Sense of closure – resolution


Compare Lists - how the 2 films follow the Classic Hollywood Narrative or how they don't conform

What are the major Plot Points of V for Vendetta & Children Of Men? Get 3 examples from each film to compare

TO WHAT EXTENT DO THEY CONFORM (OR NOT) IN COMPARISON
WHY DO THESE CONFORM OR NOT?
HOW SUCCESSFUL (TELLING CLEAR STORY & AUDIENCE ENJOYMENT)?


Examples of alternatives to the CHN structure (post-modern)

  • Non-Linear Narrative
  • Multi-stranded Narrative
  • Negative Resolution
