What is a narrative?
A narrative is not a story (beginning, middle, end) it is a passing or flow of information which can have a beginning, middle and end but it is not necessary as they do not need to be linear. They incorporate a set of episodes/ events which are linked to each other in order to create a story.
Narratives are normally portrayed from a persons point of view of (i.e. writer or director). They include plot, setting, characters etc... This is similar to stories and therefore people find it hard to separate stories from narratives.They don't have to be set in a linear structure like in stories and therefore can have the ending at the very beginning.

I have displayed an example of a narrative below:
Anything can have a narrative such as a process of buying a product.
1. The customer will look for the product
2. They will purchase it
3. They will receive it
4. They will use the product
