Life on Mars : genre and narrative

In the beginning, the conventions of the crime genre are littered as it begins with the police raiding a house of suspects and the main character (Sam) chasing the perpetrator and capturing him, interviewing the suspect on a murder case with a lawyer and the detectives in the scene with him that is typical of the crime genre however, having a psychiatrist and social worker with the perpetrator makes the scenario unconventional and more plausible, even when Sam goes to his partners' crime scene kidnapping with the area sealed off and police surrounding the crime scene traditional to the genre of crime, but no ties to the science fiction genre The enigmas created in the beginning match more with the genre of crime as the perpetrator is let go despite getting an alibi and the murder case is still open ended and this enigma is reinforced when Sam's wife follows the suspect and is abducted, when Sam is struck by the car and wakes up the enigma of questioning whether he is in a coma and all was false or he actually travelled back in the seventies. It is created in time that lasts the entire season, yet another enigma is also created as the murders duplicate each other in the past and present, and at the end of the episode this is solved. The police are viewed in the present as more professional and gender is represented fairly before we are taken into the past as the police are seen as unprofessional messing up evidence and being sexist to female police officers. In time, it is produced and spans the entire series, but yet another enigma is.

  EXAM QUESTION: What techniques do your chosen texts use to effectively target and maximise their online audiences? (30) Refer to both Zoella and Attitude. social media has made it easier to change online audiences over time. one way that it  has change is by the way the audience interacts with the online audience, over time the audiences have became content creators themselves. YouTube allows audiences to interact with online creators, YouTube does this by allowing comments, you can say whatever you like to content creators, it also allows you to interact with the creator and other fans, other apps that do this is Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.  audiences have started to create content like their favourite youtubers, this is because YouTube allows anyone to post whatever they like as long as it is within the guide lines. Shirky's theory supports this as fans are creating their own texts instead of just consuming the texts. another reason that online audience...
