Seymour Chatman (Sattelites and Kernels)

A story has two parts: the important parts and the embellishments.

Kernels (something that grows): Important part(s). The key parts of the film that make up the plot/narrative structure. If taken out the story or narrative would not work.

Satellites (orbit the earth, not planets or the earth they just go around): Embellishments. ‘A bit of fluff’. Add aesthetic to the story but are not needed, however is a way to bulk out the movie and as moving images are time based manipulation of time is needed but manipulation of time is needed for any kind of production e.g. time of podcast so are in fact important. To add detail to setting or character
