2. Definition and Meaning
A story or account of events, experiences, or recollections
that are often told in a sequence of written or spoken
words
A first hand account on the portrayal of events or
experiences that enables the reader to create a clear
image of what is trying to be inferred by the
storyteller/speaker
3. Audience Type
Many different audience examples can be used to
interpret a narrative. Everything from a comedy,
drama, tragedy, a personal experience, a certain
belief, and even a story about penguins trying to
survive in the Arctic fall under certain audience
preferences that a narrative can be based upon. In
this example, I will refer to the film “March of the
Penguins” and it’s narrator, Morgan Freeman.
Freeman narrates this film with no regard to one
particular group of people, but rather, appeals to
the general public.
5. Audience Considerations
The audience that this film is directed to ranges from
animal lovers, humanitarians, and even appeals to
children. It’s effective and subtle narration combines
both intrigue and a sustainability to keep the audience
informed of every detail that appears on screen at all
times.
This form of narration, which appeals to the general
public, is one of the more popular forms since it can be
related to with ease and does not require a certain
audience to understand what message is trying to be
conveyed.
