Clerks opening narrative
Narrative
In media terms, narrative is the coherence/organisation given to a series of facts. The human mind needs narrative to make sense of things. We connect events and make interpretations based on those connections. In everything we seek a beginning, a middle and an end. We understand and construct meaning using our experience of reality and of previous texts. Each text becomes part of the previous and the next through its relationship with the audience.
The difference between Story & Narrative:
"Story is the irreducible substance of a story (A meets B, something happens, order returns), while narrative is the way the story is related (Once upon a time there was a princess...)" (Key Concepts in Communication - Fiske et al (1983))
Clerks; phone ringing causes the disturbance in the first few shots
Todoror- Equilibrium- Dante's day off
Disturbance- Phone rings
New Equilibrium- End of film
Dante -> Phone -> Goes to work
There can be expectations of the new equilibrium from looking at the genre.

Video Clip
We anaylsed this video clip, looking at the camera angles and the pace of filming and length of shots.
Research- Production Meeting
We watched a short documentary on film production. We decided our film company would be called LIMP Industries.
Our roles in this company are,
Director: Zoe
Producer: Elly
Camera Operator: Becky
Editor: Jolie
Before this lesson we analysed "Wild At Heart", "Fast Times At Richmond High", "This is England", "Natural Born Killers" and "Clerks".
We also practised animatics, made a storyboard out of photos we had taken and then Blutoothed to the Mac's and learnt how to use LiveType.
