Narrative and non narrative structures the beginning, middle and end but also the more complex structures. When in the Tate Modern I noticed that when viewing different videos in completely different rooms, that not watching the whole video did not effect the concept I received from watching the small amout in a short time so a non-narrative structure worked a lot better in the particualar piece of art work that I watched called ‘Self Mutilation’ which was litrally a collection of alike images which the viewers can watch from the very start or part of the way through the film, and come out with the same concept.
On the other hand, some films do work better with a narrative structure as the viewers are more likely to understand and appricaiate the piece more. An example of this is ‘Doll face’ by Andy Huang which has a very strong narrative structure that cannot really be missed unless the viewer did not watch the entire film, from the begging we see and ordinary girls face, which addapts to be similar to the girl seen on the tv infront of her towards the middle, finally the girl dies as the media took control! Throughout the film I was wondering what was going on, but finally towards the end the concept clicked, without a non-narrative structure I belive the film would not have worked as well the concept and meaning wouldn’t have been as strong as with a narrative structure.
