Does the episode follow a 3 act structure or classical Hollywood narrative? The episode does follow a 3 act structure as we start the episode in what is considered normality - at least by Sherlock's standards - where Watson is at Tesco's having self-checkout troubles and Sherlock is fighting a Sikh man in his apartment, move onto the murders and the mystery of the stolen artifact that disrupted that equilibrium and finally end on another case being finished, Watson collecting the paycheck and Sherlock finding the jade dragon pin, although the actual ending hints at a much greater adversary awaiting Sherlock along with an even bigger conflict. How does binary opposition apply to this episode? Binary opposition is most clearly present in the characters, with Sherlock, Watson and Sarah presenting a traditional protagonist role against the Black Lotus Tong, the antagonists of the story, casting a very clear good vs evil dynamic in the episode. These characters also represent light ...

  The Crazies (2010): Two examples of events that predate the ones in the film but have a direct cause to them are the plane crash, which while never shown happening in the movie the aftermath is visible as the body of the pilot is found and soon after the plane wreck, and this causes the appearance of the crazies as the plane was carrying a toxin which leaked into the towns water supply. A second example is Judy being pregnant, as this causes her to have a high temperature so that the soldiers believe shes been infected despite her telling them shes pregnant, however the pregnancy's cause happens before the events of the film as we can assume shes a few weeks/months into it. An example of an event that happens within the films time frame but isn't seen on screen is Russell trying to escape the town before it got locked down. This is shown later in the movie when we see his car on the side of the road with spiked tires given insight into his failed attempt and capture. Another ...

Job roles in the commissioning process - Screenwriter -  Screenwriters work on the screenplays themselves, whether it be writing, developing or adapting them for film or TV. They work on very strict deadlines and work with the producers and directors to make multiple drafts, and during production can also make edits at the request of the actors and filmmakers. A lot of screenwriters are freelance and therefore can mostly work on what they want, however they are prone to being replaced by other screenwriters at the producer's/studio's discretion and if enough extra screenwriters are brought in they may gain less credit if any at all. Screenwriters have a good understanding of what makes a screenplay great and are very creative, usually having seen loads of films and TV shows to know how to make an effective screenplay for a variety of genres and productions. They will usually work closely with the development producers and assistants, while being supervised ...
