Sequential Narrative
A sequential narrative is very much like a continuous narrative with one major difference. A sequential narrative focuses on enframement to develop temporal development while a continuous requires criteria provided by the image itself. Each scene and action is represented within its frame as a unit. Each frame is a particular scene during a particular moment.
A sequential narrative is the type of narrative used in comics and manga.

Famous quotes containing the word narrative:
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
