Formats and narratives of Web

drama
examples
Web dramas are fictional with high standard written scripts and
stories. A linear storyline is when the story has a set beginning-
middle-end. Non- Linear is when the series of events in the play do
not occur in chronological order. For example, events may include
flashbacks, or the play might start at the end and gradually reveal
information of earlier events which lead to the final scene. An
opening story is when the end of the story is left on a cliff hanger
leaving the audience in suspense. And a closed story is when the
end of the story finishes with an end not left on a cliff hanger.
