And Then There Where NoneDIRECTOR CRAIG VIVEROS

Format and Genre

Format- seriesGenre- Fictional Crime

Narrative structure

The narrative structure is linear and uses a lot of foreshadowing. This was effective as it shows us the characters before they got to the island and it gives us some background information about them.

It also helps us to understand the characters and learn things abut them which fits into the story when we find out that they have committed a crime.

Story arc

The characters get to the island.

They have a dinner party which reveals they are all murderers.

They all admit to their crimes and it shows flashbacks of what each character has done.

They find out that there is something weird going on in the house

People start dying in the house and the new assistant finds something weird about the poem about the soldiers.

Analysis of scene

The scene I am going to analyse is when they are all sat around the dinner table and the record starts playing which states that they are all murderers and they have all committed a crime. This makes the audience feel tense as it shows us medium shots of each character when we have found out what they have done.

Compare and Contrast

And Then There Where None is different to Cyber bully as different technical elements have been used in each drama for example in cyber bully it I all set in one room and there isn't really many technical elements used apart from close ups and medium close-ups to show the emotion on Casey's face whereas In And Then There Where None there are more camera angles and uses of mise en scene use for example it shows us the location and uses long shots, high angles and establishing shots so we can become intrigued in the island and to understand that there is something going on.

Adding to this both of the dramas use non diegetic music to keep the audience tense and interested in what is going on.

Narrative structure

This one of single drama has a linear narrative structure. It is also realist. This technique was effective because if it was not told in a linear narrative we would not understand the story line.

Also it added to the tension as we did not know what was going to happen next and it focused on one character.

Compare and Contrast

Cyber bully is different to This is England ‘90 because firstly Cyber bully is a one of drama and This is England is a 3 part mini series.

In Cyber bully there isn't much use of Mise en Scene whereas in This is England they use costume and setting to show where the characters are from and to show what sort of class they are which is working class.
