A single stranded narrative structure focuses on one central character. Deadpool is an example of a film that uses this narrative structure as almost all the scenes include him and he narrates the entire movie.
A multi-stranded narrative structure has more than one central character. The video game "Grand Theft Auto V" uses this narrative structure as it has three main playable characters. You could also argue that it followed a linear narrative structure as the story is told in order of events that happen in the game.
A linear narrative structure is told in the order of events. The 2017 "JUMANJI" remake used a linear narrative structure as the plot developed based on the events of the films.
A non-linear narrative structure is the opposite of a linear narrative structre, it is told in an order different to that of the sequence of events. A good example of this is breaking bad as a segment from the end of an episode is sometimes played at the start to create intrigue.
Radio shows have a running order of stories and features that will be told using the 5 W's (who, what, when, where, why). An example of this is Hallam FM's Big John at Breakfast show.
All of the scripts I chose to analyse are fictional. A non-fictional script would be used for a documentary like "Bowling For Columbine" for exmple, or perhaps the news section of a radio show such as BBC Radio 2.
