  1. Not sure about this format! The Narrative as you describe it is in fact the plot. going forward to aid your revision and understanding you need to discuss how the film was put together and how the story was told NOT just what happens, but what it is ABOUT! You put the key scenes in there but have not stated why they are keen scenes.
