used ones that looked light hearted, along

very jolly trailer come to life and it worked
extremely well, by doing this they completely
changed the feel of the film, it is amazing how
the soundtrack of a film and a few edits can
completely change how it looks, it goes to
show how important editing and sound are in
media.

put them together to make a decently weird
trailer, add the creepy music on top and you have
a horror trailer, it was very well done and made
me think it was a horror film, this also completely
changed how I viewed the film as a whole, the
sound made the whole film seem like a horror
movie and this is crazy as Mary Poppins is
nothing like that, the editing was done incredibly
well to give this idea of a horror film.

be lots of beautiful locations and many
dangerous ones filling the landscape.

17. Narrative
• Narrative Definition
– A spoken or written account of connected events; a story.
• Linear Narrative Definition
– Linear narratives present stories in a logical manner by telling what happens from one point in
time to the next without using flashbacks or flash-forwards and then returning to the present.
• Linear Narrative Film Example
– Star Wars a new hope
• Non-Linear Narrative Definition
– Nonlinear narrative, disjointed narrative or disrupted narrative is a narrative technique,
sometimes used in literature, film, hypertext websites and other narratives, where events are
portrayed, for example out of chronological order, or in other ways where the narrative does
not follow the direct causality pattern of the events featured, such as parallel distinctive plot
lines, dream immersions or narrating another story inside the main plot-line. It is often used
to mimic the structure and recall of human memory, but has been applied for other reasons as
well.
• Non-Linear Narrative Film Example
– Pulp Fiction
