What complications/obstacles block the characters' achievin" rel="nofollow">ing their goals? Why? ? Is the narration of the film restricted or omniscient - subjective or objective?

Is there a lin" rel="nofollow">inear progression to the film or is the temporal orderin" rel="nofollow">ing of the plot distorted? Why might this be? ? Are there many - or any story-events - in" rel="nofollow">introduced in" rel="nofollow">into the set scene? ? How does your scene connect with the main" rel="nofollow">in themes of the film? ?
