1. Narrative structure
By Aaron King

2. There are different types od narrative structure
within a documentary.These are:
Open
there are lose ends
of questions that are
left unanswered so
we have to think of
what could have
happened e.g soap
operas
Closed
There are no lose ends within
the programme and
everything that is asked is
answered. E.g. Finding nemo

3. Single strand
This is where the program has
only 1 narrative theme
throughout the visual and
focuses on one thing
throughout e.g. Finding nemo
There are different types od narrative structure
within a documentary.These are:
Multi-strand
This has multiple narrative
themes which can cross
over and combine with
other storylines so they
can make a programme
e.g. Soap operas.

4. There are different types od narrative structure
within a documentary.These are:
Linear
This is where they
follow chronological
order of what
happened within the
programme genre.
Non- linear
This is where they
don’t follow the
chronological order
of a programme and
they can either flash
back or forward.
Circular narrative
This is weather or not the
programme starts and
finishes at the same point in
time.
