There are several types of narrative structures. In this post I'm going to be dicussing what narrative structures there are and examples that relate to magazines.
Type of structures
Single Strand: This is where there is only one story line/plot.
Mutli Stand: This is the opposite to single strand as it has several stories within the media product.
Closed & Open: An Open structure is where the viewer, listener or reader is left wondering what has happened. A Closed structure is where the narrative has a structured ending.
Linear & Non-linear: Linear structure is where the narrative plays out in chronological fashion. On the other hand non-linear structure is not in chronological order, the actions are out of sequence.
Restricted: This is a story which is told from one person's perspective.
