1. Narrative
Fenn, Charlotte, Lewis, Josh and Tyler

2. Linear/Non linear
• A Non-linear narrative is when the scenes are not in order
and the story can switch between different points in time
• A linear narrative is when the scenes in a film are in
chronological order throughout the film. Harry Potter and
the Prisoner of Azkaban is a linear narrative until the
moment in the film when Harry and Hermione travel back
in time. Here it changes to a Non linear narrative because
the scenes begin to occur before the scenes we have
already seen. When Harry and Hermione travel back to
back the present, the film resumes a linear narrative.

3. Single/Multi-Strand
Narratives
• A single strand narrative is where there is one main character as
the focus if the story. There is only one plot that follows the main
character but there’ll usually be some surrounding characters
that the story doesn't really focus much on and the audience
won’t care about as much.
• A multi-strand narrative is where there are more central
characters and will have multiple plots. The audience will care
about more than just the one character and not all of the focus is
on one character at a time. In Harry Potter, though Harry can be
classed as the main character, the story does focus on other
characters and the audience does build as strong a relationship
with the likes of Ron and Hermione as they do Harry.

4. Using Technical Codes To
Help Indicate Storyline
• Technical codes can be used to add suspense by
using different shots such as an extreme close up
and add also add tension by using a long shot and
see two enemies right close to each other without
either of them knowing this happens, for example in
Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban when
Harry hides from Malfoy it uses a long shot so you
can see Malfoy passing closely by.

5. Themes In The Text
Memory
Harry Potter suffers from his memories and his disturbing part, and in this sequel
of Harry Potter it definitely shows his trouble of coming to terms of these troubled
memories and past. Harry personal memory we see him try to come to terms with
is his haunted dementor-triggered flashbacks with Voldemort and the horrific event
involving his parents.
Fear
In this sequel fear is a huge theme, as well as all the other harry potters, without
the feeling of fear there would be no suspension created.
Lupin tells Harry that it is wise to be most afraid of fear itself, the lack of seeing
Voldemort in this sequel brings a suspicion to Harry as well as us as an audience,
we see that Harry is feared by the lack of seeing Voldemort and this is sure to be a
big theme in this film.
