Narrative

    The "Narrative" chapter in "Moving Pictures" discusses how storytelling is important in movies. It's been that way for a long time since people started painting on cave walls. The chapter talks about how stories usually have a main character who has to face some kind of problem or challenge, and then they figure out how to solve it. That's what makes the story exciting and keeps people watching. 

    The chapter also says that it's important to have characters that people can relate to and care about. That way, the audience gets more invested in the story and wants to see what happens next. Another thing the chapter talks about is how conflicts and obstacles can make a story more exciting. If there's nothing at stake, then the story can be pretty boring. The chapter also mentions that there are different ways to tell a story, like with flashbacks or by starting at the end and then going back in time. And because technology keeps getting better, filmmakers have more options for how to tell a story and make it look cool.

    Overall, the "Narrative" chapter is all about how important it is to tell a good story in a movie. If you want to make a movie that people will enjoy and remember, then you need to pay attention to things like characters, conflicts, and the way you tell the story.
