Narrative - Enigma, Story and Plot

Narrative - Narrative is the order in which film is told. In terms of Media, narrative is the organisation of media texts which means story. A human uses narrative in its head to make sense of thing. Therefore we all connect events and make interpretations based on those connections. Narrative is correlated with genre as same genres have typically known story line.

Narrative Enigma - the purpose of narrative enigma is that it engages audiences attention, which keeps them curious and interested with the narrative. This is essential to when a programme creates their own title sequence.

Difference between narrative story and plot.
A narrative story is what happens in the film which includes a backstory however a narrative plot is the order in which the story is told throughout the film.
If I was to put the series of crime events from a narrative story, it would more than likely go like this:

• Crime conceive > Crime planned > Crime committed > Crime discovered > Detective investigates > Identifies criminal.

However if I was to make it more interesting and re-arrange into a different sequence, the plot would be:

• Crime discovered > Detective investigates > Identifies crime > Crime conceived > Planned crime > Committed crime.
