A Linear narrative is film the follows a chronological pattern, majority of films use a linear narrative construct, whereas other films that do not follow this pattern is categorised into Non-Linear, this can be easily spotted by techniques such as flashbacks. I will be firstly analysing Linear Narratives first in the paragraph below.
An example of a Linear film would be: Avatar (2009).
This screenshot shows the main character entering the virtual machine to be transported to his avatar.
This screenshot shows the protagonist on a mission after entering the new body. This was right after him entering the virtual machine, by doing this it gives the audience a straight thrill and it entertains them through the continuous plot instead of giving flashbacks as it is not as intriguing, because the storyline is interesting especially in sci-fi films the audience would want to know what is going to happen next so by using a Linear Narrative there is no delay.
this screenshot is during the end of the film.
