Narrative

Opening teasers i have seen include Luther.For example the second epsisode we see two police members murdered before we cut to the actually show and title scene. Not only luther but shows like CSI show there death or scenes of major crime before we get developed into the show. These are used to keep the audiance ingaged and interested in what will happen next.

Examples of egnigmas include sherlock. Sherlock tends to want to play along with the killer. Find out this and that and is able to put his body obn the line to get the answer to his ever growing engima. E.G. in the first episode of luther we see that he is willing to play the taxi drivers games in order to find out what he wants( sadly he cannot find an answer as he dies due to being shot by watson, who is worried about sherocks lust for enimgas constantly.)

The quests of the key protagonists is simple. Their quests always lead to answers. Which is what they want(and to also bring the criminal to justice.) Sometimes they are ast tempo chase races whilst others for example luther are slow paced. These quests gain many tips and help along the way from various chase scenes, undercover work, forensic evdence gaining etc..

Mnay shows use open and close narratives. The ones with higher social grades(ABC1) tend to watch the shows with a closed narrrative so they can work it out for themselfs and be one step ahead of the characters. These shows include csi. We gain knowladge bit by bit but are red herrings leave us on multiple journeys which these people like to enjoy.

Shows that use open narratives are the ones who are watched by the lets say not so smart people(c2de)These shows do all the work for us. Like luther for example 14 mintes in a realise whos doen the crime, we just wait for him to get caught.
