narrative structure

narrative structure is the way the story is told

some genres have a typical narrative structure such as in gangsta films i watched two (little caesar and scarface )with a 50 year difference they had the same structure the gangster started with nothing rises to power  and then they fall by the end of the movie the gangster is either dead in prison or in a witness protection program all the things they had have been taken away

romantic comedy also have a common narrative structure the two people who end up together at the end are normally not the same who start off together because they may hate each other and forced in a situation where they need to be to thee and over the course of the film be they see that they ant the different and start to like each other and get together

or they want to be together but there's an obstacle in the like them liking in different towns or family feuds  or another caritter getting in the way on of thems form a poor background and one wethey corporate background and ones a small shop worner

they have story lines they hate each other and want to be together or there's an obstacle in the way the end is mostly them being together those that don't are breaking the conventions of the genre

if someone went to see a romantic comedy and it end in them being together you would be annoyed or cheated on the bases that the narrative structure want normal but some  people would rather it breaking the convention because otherwise the genre will get repetitive or stail
