Brannigan, Edward. “Chapter 1: Narration” in Narrative Comprehension and Film. Routledge: London, 1992.
This chapter begins with Brannigan offering an in-depth analysis at a car/train chase scene from The Girl and her Trust. He describes in detail the shot break down, and how the camera cuts move the narrative forward. The rhythm of the editing dictates how the viewer understands the pacing of the action. The chase sequence helps viewers to build up expectation which is directed towards a future outcome.
