From Griffith to Netflix, From Classical Narrative to Hybrid Narrative Two Examples: The Birth of a Nation and Don't Look Up

Abstract

This study explores the evolution of narrative structure in movies. It analyzes two significant film examples within this evolution: D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation and Adam McKay's Don't Look Up. The Birth of a Nation is considered a turning point where the foundations of classical narrative were laid, emphasizing parallel editing and emotional interactions; Don't Look Up is analyzed as a successful example of hybrid narrative structures that have developed with the rise of the digital age and platforms like Netflix. Film evaluations and conclusions were made through narrative assessment and the descriptive method. The study details the transformation in cinematic narrative strategies due to technological advancements and the diversification of the global audience, highlighting its profound effects on viewers. These changes have significantly altered the narrative forms and audience experience of movies. The thesis that the transition from classical narrative to hybrid narrative has led to these changes and that the concept of hybrid narrative should be used as an umbrella concept rather than being used in parallel with the postmodernist narrative concept has been explained through the example of the movie Don't Look Up.
