A story is simply a sequence of events, also commonly referred to as the plot. The audience would normally expect a sequence of events to be shown from start to finish in a film. This is not always the case, as the order at which events are shown on screen can be changed in order to achieve various effects. For example, the very end of a film can be shown within the first ten minutes, while the rest of the film back tracks so the audience can understand how the characters ended up in the situation that is shown within those first ten minutes. The way events are revealed is referred to as the narrative.
When the sequence of events is shown in the expected order, this being, beginning, middle and end, this is referred to as linear narrative. This is also the most common form of narrative structure.
Non-linear structure is when this order is mixed up, for example, end, beginning and middle.
