Constructing Narratives
Narrative stories in film and television are deliberately structured to keep the audience engaged. This is why we often say Narratives are 'constructed' as it refers to careful and deliberate decision making.
How a narrative is constructed depends on its form and consumption habits of the audience. Media narratives come in many forms. On this page we will focus on films, television and streaming. Each media form has a different manner in which audiences will consume the content.
