Conventions --> What you expect to happen

Diegesis --> The internal world created by the story that the characters themselves experience and encounter --> as we encounter in our everyday lives as "normal", they do in theirs --> e.g. Star Wars, Doctor Who etc.

Versimilitude --> Believe ability --> How we believe the diegesis, e.g. we believe in Doctor Who that it is usual in their diegesis.


Story and plot


Story --> All events referenced both explicitly in a narrative and inferred (including back story as well as whats on screen, e.g. Narnia, they refer to the war that happened before the Ice Queen took over
Plot --> The events directly incorporated into the action of the text and the order in which the are presented --> so what is generally shown.
