Narrative
➢ Narrative, story, and plot are the basic terms used when analyzing the narrative structure of a film. Although they are sometimes used interchangeably, they also have more precise meanings that can help us to draw some useful distinctions. David Bordwell and Kristin Thomas in Film Art--An Introduction《电影艺术入门》define them as follows:
➢ Plot All the events that are directly presented to us, including their causal relations, chronological order, duration, frequency, and spatial locations.
