5. Narrative Structure This film has a very simple linear form. It starts of with a dull and boring atmosphere in the first scene, but then the scenes and atmosphere become full of curiosity and bewilderment, as the character uses the hole for bigger and bigger ideas. The ending acts as a punishment, and may also make the viewer laugh at the consequence.
