Question

(5.4.c) types of movies (wk 5)
which of the following is one of the meanings of the word
arrative\ in regard to movies?
○ a concept describing the theme presented in almost any kind of movie
○ the topic that a particular film tells
○ a nonsequential organization of events in a movie
○ the particular system by which a fictional story is structured
○ a character who narrates events in the film through voice - over

Explanation:

In the context of movies, a narrative refers to the system that structures a fictional story. It's not just about the theme (which is more about the message or idea), not simply the topic (which is too broad - narrative is about how the story is told), not a non - sequential organization (as narratives can be sequential or non - sequential but it's not the core definition), and not just the character who narrates (though that's a part of some narrative forms).

Answer:

the particular system by which a fictional story is structured
