Introduction to Narrative Theory | Teaching and Learning with Mr Miller

In this video we look at the basics of narrative theory. This is good for GCSE Media Studies and/or GCSE Film Studies, but will also be good if you're doing A Level Media Studies and/or A Level Film Studies.

If you can't answer these questions by the end, watch the video again:
- What is story? What is narrative?
- What is Syd Field's narrative paradigm? (give an example)
- What is Todorov's narrative paradigm? (give an example)
- What is Propps's narrative theroy? (give an example)
