Narration

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Narration is a method used in various forms of media, including literature, film, and theatre, to tell a story or provide information to the audience. It is a critical component of storytelling, providing context, details, and depth to the narrative.

  • First-Person Narration: This type of narration is told from the perspective of a character within the story, often using "I" or "we".
  • Second-Person Narration: This type of narration addresses the reader directly, using "you".
  • Third-Person Narration: This type of narration is told from an outside perspective, using "he", "she", "it", or "they".
