Production log 9

This week i have studied a lot on narratives. I have explored the types of narrative structure, I've learnt that there is a Linear narrative; where the story has a start, middle and end in that order. A non-linear narrative; This is where the narrative is not in chronological order, for instance in BSR films a non-linear narrative could be identified when we see flashbacks, like shown in the starting of the film 'Adulthood'. A Restricted narrative; A narrative from only one character in the story, (usually the protagonist), This is displayed in the bsr films; 'Fish tank' and 'Yasmin'. A Omniscient narrative; A narrative from more than one character, so the audience has access to more narrative events (sometimes knowing more than the characters). 

This information helped me along the week as it gave me different narrative ideas when it came to making my treatment and whole film narrative. It also made me realise what type of narrative structure suited my bsr film best, as my film is from one character's view which is the protagonist Ayesha, I chose to go with the 'Restricted Narrative'.
