Elements of Narrative

 1. The difference between narration and narrator is that narration is the act of storytelling and narrator is what or who tells the story, 2. The difference between omniscient and restricted narration is that omniscient narration allows entry to all facets of the story, restrictions and restricted narration limits the details it gives to the audience to stuff that a single character knows. 3.

Proximity is being able to visual space and put related items together so everything is not disorganized. White space is negative space that helps you define and separate different sections and gives you room to breathe, so your magazine spread is not in a cluster. Alignment is to be consistent.

Cinematic language is characterized as the structures, techniques, or convention agreed by which the films interact with the viewer. A continuity of editing technique that smoothes the transition between shots depicting a single event from various camera angles is meant by cinematic language.

I feel like emotional scenes really engage with the viewer because they really have to dig deep for the actor to make their tears look genuine. Cinematic language is important because it helps to establish the requisite ties that will improve the plot's validity and plausibility. It could be from an action movie to a scary movie either way they all communicate with their audience.
