Narrative - Andrew Goodwins Theory

Narratives can come in many different forms such as:
Open - In which the narrative of the media text is left unfinished with an open end. E.g. Soap opera cliff hangers
Closed -  In which the narrative of the media text is concluded at the end of the piece. E.g. Soap opera Finales
Linear - In which the narrative of the media text is played out in a very simple and easy to follow      layout. E.g. James Bond
Non-Linear - In which the narrative of the media text does not follow any pattern and is very  disjointed. E.g. Pulp Fiction

Disjuncture - This is a totally abstract video unrelated to the song.



This clearly shows the two dancers in the video however it does not relate to the song itself and leaves the video open to its own interpretation allowing audiences to think how they want to about the video.
