What are the narrative techniques of movies? How to describe the narrative structure of movies?

Narrative techniques include: symbolization of images and sounds. Images, sound symbols and narratology are applied to the actual analysis of film works and become scientific methods to study film texts.

Narrative structure can be described by three levels:

1. Level 1:

The organizational relationship and expression of narrative structure can be called text structure or overall structure, which is equivalent to montage structure and is the overall structure of the film.

2. The second level:

Narrative structure is the organizational relationship of the whole film system, such as genre film structure mode, which is above the overall structure.

3. The third level:

Under the overall structure, that is, the combination of various elements in the film, such as the combination of plot, picture and clip. There are more narrative structural elements in the film, so it is more complicated, and it needs fine plot design and exquisite structural layout to tell a good story.

Plot structure plays an important role in traditional narrative works, and the most typical one is the structure of drama conflict: prologue-beginning-development-climax-ending-ending. Structuralism has established a "centralized structure", while structuralism firmly opposes centralization, believing that the center is not a fixed point, but a function.

An "indefinite point" that makes it possible for countless symbol substitutes to move from "work" to "this article". Barthes believes that "this article has no structure, everything in this article is implied and used many times, and this article has no complete whole or ultimate structure."
