B. Elements of
Narrative
1. Story
In element of story, There are diagetic elements in this episode such as
all the narrative events that are explicitly presented on the screen plus. One
of example where the phil question may be indication. "is he michael
scott without the tie? Or is he the breakout star of this show?Here’s a test
for you". When Gloria was dramatically asking what she needed to take
off in order to prove that she’s not just interested in Jay’s money "should
I take off these earrings? This bracelet? This dress?" and phil kept
quiet instead of joining in the chorus of "no!" For the last item we
can stipulate that we all saw that coming.
2. Order
In this episode is chronological order because it begins when jay invites
his family to watching a football game in his house until the main storyline
about Gloria an Claire’s distrust of each other. It starts with Manny and Luke
fighting at school over Manny calling Luke his nephew (technically true!),
leading to the parents of each kid driving home talking about what bad parents
the others are. Chronologically, it ends when just the Cam and Jay watch football.
So, it is
chronological.
3. Events
I think this episode relate with the story because all scene is important
to support the story and how the family incircuit with the story. It tells one
scene in every different family but it is still relation with the storyline.
4. Duration
a) Story duration
This event occur for 1 day. From the morning until night. I know that’s the
morning when it starts with jay’s family breakfast and I know that’s the night
when they want to watch claire go jump in the pool and the pool in outside. It
shows the night.
b) Plot Duration
I think it is more than 45 minutes but;
c) Screen Duration
Actually, In Screen duration only 20 minutes
past 43 seconds.
5. Suspense VS Surprise
In this episode, there is suspense when claire will accept Gloria’s
challenge to go jump in the pool as an asking forgive. In other side, there
also surprise, first, when Manny and luke said coal digger and they heard it
wrong. It is mean that gold digger. Because of that, Gloria and Claire are
fighting again. Second, when Jay pulls Gloria in the pool and the end is all
family in the pool. They are laughing together.
