IMR -- Institutional Mode of Representation

In Film Theory, this is the stylistic structure of narrative film construction that was developed during the classic Hollywood period.  It included some basic premises:
*  Characters were displayed realistically and with a progressive character arc.
*  The story was told linearly with clear dramatic arc.
*  Every effort was made to preserve a sense of spatial and temporal continuity.
