Narrative and non-narrative structures.

In many pieces of video there is often some sort of narrative contained within, often these narratives are structured in a traditional style, with a beginning, middle and end, however this is not always the case. In some pieces of video there is an invert to the traditional structure, where the end comes first, and the beginning last, whereas in many pieces of artistic video there is no narrative structure at all. This is to allow an audience to get a meaning from the video without waiting for an end. An example of this is 'Chameleon' by Tina Gonsalves.
