This document discusses narrative structure in film. It begins by defining a narrative as a story and noting that stories are important for single camera productions. Narratives typically have interesting characters, a good concept, drama, action, a beginning, middle, and end, and exciting plot points. Film narratives are usually split into three acts: the setup in the first third, the conflict in the second third, and the resolution in the final third. Plot points occur at the end of each act to move the story forward. Narratives can be either linear, telling the story in chronological order, or non-linear, telling it out of order. Examples of both types of narratives are analyzed.
