Answer the questions provided below. Questions that require the use of a textbook should reference specific passages from the book (the page(s) + quotation marks if some information is cited). Specific elements from films should be referenced by providing a screenshot, timestamp, or verbal description of the analyzed fragment in the film. 1) What is the difference between the story and the plot of a film? Does the narrative of Volver follow a chronological order or experiment with the chronology of plot events? 2) Describe the three-act dramatic structure in films. Does Volver follow this structure? If yes, divide the narrative of Volver into these three parts and think about why this film follows the three-act dramatic structure. If not, show what parts are missing and why. 3) What are the three kinds of duration in films? Are all these durations coincide with each other in Volver? 4) What is the difference between surprise and suspense? Do we have surprise or suspense in Volver? 5) Distinguish characters by their importance (major versus minor characters), their complexity (round versus flat), their motivation as well as their role in the narrative (e.g., protagonist, antagonist) of Volver.
