BERNARD'S WATCH

Narrative:

Bernard's watch was a restricted narration as it didnt show us the whole story, and left it open to see what was going to happen to bernards life. The versimilitude in bernards watch was broken as it contained a watch that could stop time whenever bernard clicked it, however this was normal to Bernard as it was his own personal diegesis, and so by the audience seeing bernards story, it was believable that he had found a watch that could stop time.

Content:

The content of Bernards watch, episode 1 was in chronological order and followed Todorov's theory of narrative as stage one showed Bernard living his normal life, but always being late. Stage two showed Beranrd being late for a birthday party. Stage 3 showed the adults at the party telling Bernard he was late and Bernard realising he had forgotten to bring a present. Stage 4 showed Bernard going back to his house and borrowing a key from his next door neighbour to get into hia house to get some money to buy the birthday present. And stage 5 showed Bernard giving the present and equilibrum has been restored.

Pace:
There wasnt much to say about the pace about Bernards Watch apart from that all the events that occured happened within the same day.

Mise En scene:
The mise-en-scene for the show was fairly average for a children's drama in the scenes. they included props such as the watch and a toy gun. the costumes were normal for children such as school uniforms and parents dressed in suits and ties.
