Narrative structure

The Classical Narrative System:

1. The narrative is linear and chronological
2. Events are organised around the ideas of cause and effect
3. The action is driven by one central character
4. The narrative has a definite closure
5. The goal in the narrative is clear
6. Narrative is driven by equilibrium, disruption, re-equilibrium
7. Narrative is driven by enigma - resolution pattern

Our narrative structure would follow the typical narrative structure in many ways. The film will not be in chronological order, there will be flash backs in the film to explain the back story. All of the things that happen in the film are going to be organised by the idea of cause and effect, enigma - resolution and equilibrium, disruption, re-equilibrium. The narrative will be driven by one central character (Sammael) and we know what his goal is, to stop the souls from being released into the real world. The film also has a definite closure.
