This document discusses different types of narrative structures, including circular, episodic, linear, and non-linear. A circular structure is one where the story ends where it began. An episodic structure consists of chapters or stories linked by character, place, or theme. A linear narrative follows a straight path from beginning to end. Finally, a non-linear narrative presents events out of chronological order or through parallel plot lines.

Narrative structure presentation
This document discusses different types of narrative structures that can be used in documentaries. It describes closed narratives which have a clear beginning, middle, and end with no loose ends. Open narratives end without a clear conclusion, leaving questions unanswered. Linear narratives present events in chronological order while non-linear narratives have no set timeline. Single strand narratives focus on one character or story, while multi-strand narratives show multiple perspectives. It also discusses theorists like Todorov, Propp, Levi-Strauss, and Barthes and the narrative patterns and codes they identified.
Narrative structures
This document discusses different types of narrative structures including linear versus non-linear, single versus multi-stranded, and open versus closed structures. Linear narratives present events in chronological order while non-linear narratives may include flashbacks or present events out of sequence. Single-stranded narratives focus on one storyline and set of characters while multi-stranded narratives incorporate multiple interconnected storylines. Open structures leave the audience wondering at the end while closed structures provide resolution and definitive endings.
Characters positions
The document discusses how positioning of characters and objects within a frame can reveal important details. It notes that positioning can draw attention to key figures and indicate relationships. The document then analyzes 4 images, concluding that in Image 1 the characters seem distant, in Image 2 one person is more prominent than the other, in Image 3 both characters are equally prominent, and in Image 4 one character is clearly central.
Narrative structures
The document discusses different types of narrative structures and components that can be used in storytelling. Some key structures mentioned include open versus closed, single versus multi-strand stories, and linear versus non-linear narratives. Open structures have no conclusion, single strands follow one storyline, and linear narratives present events in chronological order. Closed structures conclude, multi-strands have multiple intertwining plots, and non-linear narratives use techniques like flashbacks. The document also outlines components like openings, conflict, and resolution that were used in the author's children's book about fish building homes and confronting a threatening shark.

This document discusses various narrative theories and structures that can be used to analyze stories. It covers Roland Barthes' five codes for interpreting narratives: the proairetic code, hermeneutic code, semantic code, symbolic code, and cultural code. It also discusses Claude Levi-Strauss' theory of binary oppositions, Vladimir Propp's analysis of character archetypes in folktales, Tzvetan Todorov's 5 key points of narrative structure, and Syd Field's paradigm of three-act story structure. The theories provide tools for understanding how narratives are constructed and how meaning is derived through elements like character relationships, plot points, cultural references, and the resolution of tensions.

Narrative structures
This document discusses different types of narrative structures used in storytelling. It describes open structures that have no definitive ending, closed structures that provide closure, and interactive structures where the user's inputs impact the output. Some common narrative structures mentioned are single strand narratives with one plot, multi-strand narratives with multiple interweaving plots, investigative narratives that require interpretation, linear narratives that unfold chronologically, and non-linear narratives that are out of sequence. The document also summarizes Todorov's theory that all narratives progress through five stages: equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disorder, an attempt to repair it, and a return to a new equilibrium.
Narrative structures
The document discusses three types of narrative structures: linear, non-linear, and interactive. Linear narratives tell stories chronologically from start to finish. Non-linear narratives reorder or interpret events in a way that provides insight into a character's mindset. Interactive narratives allow users to make decisions that influence the plot and engage with characters.
Literary Criticism
This document discusses various approaches to literary criticism and analysis of biblical texts like Genesis 1-3. It mentions form criticism, narrative structures, discourse analysis, and analyzing features like plot, characters, points of view, analogies, and repetitions.

Understanding text structures
The Great Chicago Fire spread rapidly due to several factors:
1) Daniel Sullivan first noticed flames in the O'Leary barn around 8:30 pm on October 8.
2) A problem with the alarm box prevented people from calling the fire department.
3) By 9:30 pm the entire block was ablaze, and within 3 hours fires had spread across Chicago. Heavy winds from Lake Michigan fanned the flames.

Text structure ppt
The document discusses different patterns of text organization, including cause and effect, compare and contrast, problem and solution, sequential, and description. It provides examples of each pattern and tips for identifying them. Readers are asked to read passages and determine the pattern of organization used in each one. The patterns are then defined to help with identification.
Codes And Conventions Of Documentary
Documentaries employ several conventions to appear authentic and factual to audiences. These include a knowledgeable or opinionated voiceover, presenting footage as unaltered recordings of real events, using natural lighting and sound, archive media to provide context, interviews with experts though their views may be disputed, on-screen text to establish time/place, non-diegetic music to influence meaning, and set-ups of typical scenes for efficiency though they recreate rather than document reality. These techniques aim to convince viewers of the documentary's validity, but risk prioritizing familiar images over new perspectives.
Narratives
This document discusses narratives and narrative structures. It defines narratives as stories that construct our lives through various mediums like nursery rhymes, bedtime stories, jokes, anecdotes, and films. It notes that narratives teach moral lessons and shape how we understand concepts like good versus evil. The document also outlines common narrative structures used in storytelling like characters, linear and non-linear formats, and realist versus anti-realist approaches. Students are assigned tasks to analyze the narrative structure of a favorite film and begin structuring their own single camera essay incorporating lessons on narratives.
Narrative
Narrative refers to storytelling and how elements are organized to create meaning. Narratives across media share characteristics like structure and how they are informed by characters, action, and location. Narrative structures can be closed with a conclusion or open-ended. Theorists like Todorov, Propp, Barthes, and Levi-Strauss analyzed narratives and identified common patterns. Todorov saw narratives as progressing through equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium states. Propp identified character types like villains and heroes. Levi-Strauss explored binary oppositions. Barthes identified codes like hermeneutic and symbolic that shape narratives.
Teaching Text Structure
This document provides an overview of text structure and suggestions for teaching it to students. It defines text structure as the internal organization of a text and discusses common structures like chronological order, cause and effect, problem and solution, compare and contrast, and description. It explains that understanding text structure helps readers comprehend, search for, and summarize information. The document offers recommendations for teaching text structure, such as using graphic organizers, highlighting transition words, analyzing questions for each structure, and finding leveled texts to practice with.
Narrative structures (1)
This document defines and provides examples of different narrative structures in films:
- Anti-realist films focus on escape and possibilities beyond real-world limitations, like Star Wars.
- Linear narratives tell stories chronologically, like Batman Begins.
- Closed endings conclude the main conflict, while open endings lead to more of the story, like The Incredibles.
- Single strand narratives focus on one story/characters, like Taken, while multi-strand films have multiple plots/characters like SAW.
- Teaser trailers likely won't reveal the full narrative structure but may showcase simple, single plotlines and realistic environments to generate excitement without confusion, as seen in action film trailers.
Offering something
The document discusses offering help or providing something to someone else. It provides examples of ways to offer assistance, such as "Would you like..." and examples of responses like "Yes, please" or "No, thank you." It also includes two sample conversations where one person offers help or something to drink/eat to another person, who either accepts or declines the offer.
Narrative text
This document defines and provides examples of narrative text. Narrative text is a story that includes complications or problems and attempts to resolve them. The purpose is to entertain readers. Generic structures include orientation to set the scene, complication to introduce problems, resolution to solve problems, and optionally reorientation to provide a lesson. An example given is "The Ugly Duckling" which orientates readers, complicates the story by introducing the ugly duckling, resolves when he realizes he is a beautiful swan, and reorients with the lesson not to judge by appearances.
Understanding text-structure-powerpoint
This paragraph describes the events of the Great Chicago Fire in chronological order, beginning with Daniel Sullivan noticing the flames and ending with the total number of buildings burned after the fire was out. Time clue words like "at around 8:30 pm", "By 9:30 pm", "In another 3 hours", and "It would be another day" indicate a chronological structure.
Structure of a film
The document discusses the structure of films, including narrative structure, which is about the story and plot - the content and form used to tell the story. It notes that narrative structure looks at the key conflicts, main characters, setting and events that make up the story. The document also describes linear structure as proceeding from the beginning to the middle to the end of a story, while non-linear structure may start in the middle and use flashbacks or flashforwards to tell the full story in a non-chronological way.
Narrative story.pptx
This document defines and describes different types of narrative writing. It explains that narrative writing is story writing that can be fiction or nonfiction. The main types of narratives discussed are linear, nonlinear, viewpoint, and descriptive narratives. It also outlines some key characteristics of narrative writing, such as descriptive language, characters like the protagonist and antagonist, plot, and narrative structure with a beginning, middle, and end.
Narrative Stylistics
This document discusses narrative discourse and its key elements. Narrative discourse involves retelling experiences through a connected sequence of language that matches events. It comprises temporally ordered clauses, and changing their order alters the interpreted chronology. A successful narrative requires contextualization, closure, and stylistic embellishment. It also needs essential structural elements like characters, setting, and plot development according to linguist William Labov. Narrative discourse encompasses how the plot is narrated through devices like flashbacks and involves both a realized text and interactive context. There is disagreement around analyzing narrative units and their interconnections in works like novels.

The document defines narratology as including narrative arcs, universal causal patterns called narremes that advance the story, and themes that provide meaning beyond just representing events. Narratology is important for game design as it allows games to model storytelling conventions from other media and provide gamers with a narrative to follow through the game.
Narrative structure 2 (1)
The document discusses several narrative theories proposed by Tzvetan Todorov, Roland Barthes, Vladimir Propp, and Northrop Frye.
Todorov suggested narratives follow five stages - an initial equilibrium, a disruption, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair the equilibrium, and a new equilibrium. Barthes identified five codes that are woven into narratives - hermeneutic, proairetic, symbolic, semantic, and cultural. Propp analyzed Russian folktales and identified 31 narrative functions. Frye described narratives as following either a chronological or non-chronological (synchronic) structure.

This document discusses several concepts and theories related to narrative structure in film. It defines key terms like narrative, diegesis, story and plot. It also describes different types of narrative range, depth, and theories put forth by Russian formalists and scholars like Vladimir Propp, Tzvetan Todorov, and Allan Cameron. Propp identified character types and spheres of action in folktales, while Todorov outlined a 5-stage structure of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, and reinstatement of equilibrium. Cameron defined 4 types of modular narratives - anachronic, forking paths, episodic, and split screens.
Short story
Short stories are a form of fiction, usually written in prose and narrative format, that focus on a single incident within a confined time and space. They emerged as their own genre in the 19th century alongside the growth of magazines that published short fiction. While short stories may follow some dramatic story elements like other fiction, their brevity means they do not always include exposition, rising action, or other patterns. There is no universally agreed upon definition for what qualifies as a short story in terms of word count, though most are considered no longer than 20,000 words and no shorter than 1,000.

Lighting
This document provides instructions to analyze images based on their lighting techniques. For each image, students are asked to identify whether the lighting is high key or low key, locate the key lights, filler lights, and back lights, and describe the effects or meanings suggested by the lighting. Examples are given of four images lit with low key lighting, identifying the back lights and/or key lights that create shadows and contrasts suggesting mystery or suspense.
Semiotics
Semiotics is the study of meaning and how it is formed through signs like words, images, and music. It can be used to analyze the symbolic codes in media texts. Examples of semiotics associations include red with danger/love, blue with sadness, and yellow with happiness. Audio-visual media possesses both sound and visual components, such as films, TV, and live performances. Print media refers to paper publications like books, magazines, and newspapers.
Mise en-scene
Mise-en-scene refers to everything within the frame of a shot that can be used to tell the story, including the five main elements: settings and props, costumes/makeup, facial expressions/body language, lighting/color, and character/object positioning. These elements help establish expectations, provide context about time period and culture, convey characters' feelings and relationships, and highlight important aspects through techniques like lighting, camera angles, and character placement within the frame. Mise-en-scene is a key filmmaking tool used to manipulate audiences and advance the narrative.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Narrative Structures
- 2. Narrative structure A narrative structure is about two things: the content of a story and the form used to tell the story.Two common ways to describe these two parts of narrative structure are story and plot. Story refers to the raw materials of dramatic action as they might be described in chronological order. There are different types of structures such as: Circular Episodic Linear Non-Linear
- 3. Circular A circular structure is a story that ends in the same place it began Circular structure appears in nearly every genre and in the mythologies of many cultures The narrative almost never leaves characters or events unchanged
- 4. Episodic The Episodic plot structure is made up of a series of chapters or stories linked together by the same character, place, or theme but held apart by their individual plot, purpose, and subtext.
- 5. Linear Linear narratives follow a straight line — starting at the beginning, moving to the middle and proceeding to the end of the story.
- 6. Non-Linear Nonlinear 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.
