Film Narrative

Narrative for short films is essentially a fancy word for how the story is told. The structure for short films is that the ending either has a specific meaning or that there is a twist in the end. The enigma of a short film is often set out in the opening minute, and it entices the audience to pay attention throughout. The best type of short films have an 'unexpected' twist in the end, where the audience is caught completely off guard, although some of the best short films around often have a message or value that they try to put across. Both ways can be very effective and keep the audience interested.
