ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Narrative film

Narrative film is movies that tell stories, just like books! They have characters, situations, and plot, just like books. They often have a beginning, middle and an end, and you can follow along to find out what happens. Narrative films also have actors, music, and sounds, which help you get a better picture of what is happening in the story. Instead of reading words like in a book, you watch the actors and listen to the sound to understand what is going on. Narrative films use light and color to show the viewers what is happening.
