Sample television：The Wire (Season5)

Abstract：I want to expand the questions we answered for reflection 1. There are many different ways of narrative in the television and they have specific benefits. I want to write about the benefits of different narrative approaches in the television. I will analyze the scenes in The Wire S4 that how the narrative structures tell the stories and their functions. I will write the benefits of different narrative approaches by telling that they make the plot flow, increase the interest and set the stage for the rest of the story. I may ask a question like ‘what are the benefits of television narrative’ to absorb the interest.

The two additional sources I will use:

Marinescu, Valentina, et al. Contemporary Television Series: Narrative Structures and Audience Perception .Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2014.

In this article, the author wrote about different narrative structures and gave the perception of the audience, so I can have the conclusion of the benefits of the structures by the feelings of the audience.

This article summarizes an evidence-based study that adapts a breakpoint approach to investigate how elements of television narratives (two half-hour episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents: “Lamb to the Slaughter” and “The Case of Mr. Pelham”) were considered meaningful to viewers.
