chapter 3 - narrative and non narrative structures

With experimental videos it is not a necessity to have a solid narrative because the idea behind an experimental video can be whatever the artist wants it to be, it is up to the audience to make their own judgement and interpretation of the video.
However if a narrative helped to explain the video and was vital to the meaning, then it would be necessary to have a beginning, middle and end.
There can be a more complex and different structure that is happening in the video, for example in the video 'Muto' there is no narrative but a loosely based structure of a cycle throughout.
