The concept of how film narration communicates depends entirely on the structure or ordering of the sequence. Eisenstein structures the sequences of shots abruptly whereas traditional narrative movies rely mostly on the smooth flowing of shots of scenes to tell a story. Traditional narratives

take fragments combining them as sequences only to link or compress time while Eisenstein's theory of montage takes the idea of discontinuity and recombines images with boundless time and space. This theory was rooted to the Japanese representational culture: "From separate hieroglyphs has been fused--the ideogram." The ideas set upon recombining these fragments create a sense of conflict in and of itself, and create the juxtaposition of shots that produce new concepts, thus narrating the story. Traditionally however, a narrative is situated by a chronological, orderly set of shots. For example, in the Crop Duster Sequence in North by Northwest, a story is told linearly by first introducing the setting to the audience by a long shot of the openness of the crop fields. Then a point of view shot in the eyes of the Star showing a car passing by. The sequence continues back to the Star with an anticipated-turned-disappointed gesture, then
