Classical Narrative Cinema

Classical Narrative Cinema is a dominant filmic paradigm within the broader category of narrative cinema, distinguished by its systematic use of cause-and-effect logic, goal-oriented characters, and invisible editing techniques to produce coherent, temporally organized, and psychologically motivated story structures characteristic of Hollywood filmmaking from the 1910s to the 1960s.
