Linear model

Klassisk dramaturgi for berettermodellen [Larsen, 1990]

• The story follows a timeline
• The end is the the goal (purpose, message)
• 'Actors'* in the story: Hero, villain, helper etc.
• The actors are actually being the charcters portrayed
• Causal relationship between scenes in the story
• Specific elements in the story: Impact, Presentation, Deepening, p.o.n.r., Conflict escalation, Climax and Outphasing.
• Little divergens on the level of the action and story
• Viewers have to agree on the premisses of the story (no or vey little interpretation)
• Viewers becomes a part of the story

*The actors is not necessarily humans but can be.

Circular models

Bølgemodellen [Larsen, 1990]

• Every scene is telling its own story-> vague or no connection between the scenes (every single scene can be final)
• The narrative itself (the proces) is the goal
• No ordinay actors
• No ordinary characters; actors representing different opponions (reflections).
• Convergens between the level of action and story (e.g. characters can comment on their own roles in the play)
• Viewers have to relate to different premisses (open for interpretation)
• Viewers is not a part of the story
