Story and Plot
Bordwell and Thompson (1997) offer two distinctions between story and plot which relate to diegetic world of the narrative which the audience actually see. They based this on Russian film theory:
- Fabula (story) is all about the events in the narrative that we see and infer. The fabula is defined as the chronological series of events that are represented or implied.
- Syuzhet (plot) means that everything is visible and audibly present before us. Syuzhet is considered to be the order, manner and techniques of their presentation in the narrative.
