3; Narrative and non Narrative Structures

The storyline in Telling Lies is a simple structure as beginning, middle and end. There is no complex or different structure included in it. Its basically a phone call between several people who are each telling lies to one another about the night before.
The storyline in 1001 nights is a bit more complex than Telling Lies as there is no storyline. Its just 5 women talking about the war from start to finish.
The storyline in Koyaanisqatsi is also complex, the same as 1001 nights. No storyline was made for the film as it isn’t a story based film. Koyaanisqatsi is just a imagery to music type film which has no simple storyline.

Each story has their own beginning, middle and end which is why some of them are complex and others are simple.

You need to explain the effect that a traditional or non traditional narrative has on the way we, the audience take meaning from it.
