Research - Narrative video

Cee Lo Green - Forget you is an example of a narrative video. What makes it a narrative?

• Time is compressed - whole life in 4 minutes
• Snippets of footage is used
• It uses simple key events to tell a story
• A tv drama escalates for a week while this is done in less than 5 minutes
• There is an ending (or an ending point at least)
• There is minimal amount of characters
• Doesn't use continuity editing without cutting real time - Discontinuous editing breaks up time and jumps around
• Story is narrated simply
• Uses actors for his younger self - going in time from younger to older telling a personal story
