Time can be comprehended through narrative by:
- flashbacks
- dream sequences
- repetition
- different characters’ POV
- flash forwards
- real time interludes
- pre-figuring of events that have not yet taken place
In media narrative is the coherence/organization which are given to a series of facts. Story in media is the irreducible substance of a story, Narrative is the way the story is related. Successful stories require actions which change the lives of the characters in the story, also contain some sort of resolution, and the change must be registered. There is also narratives in stories advertisements and documentaries which have to be interpreted. In narrative there are four conventions which are:
- Genre
- Character
- Form
- Time
Now there is another theory for narrative which is known as the Todorov narrative, in which it basically says that narrative is equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium. When it comes to POV’s the narrator will always:
- reveal the events which make up the story
- mediate those events for the audience
- evaluate those events for the audience
