C.S.I. is a long-running American crime drama that focuses on the lives and work of police officers. Each episode tells a story of detectives investigating a crime, such as a murder. The episodes follow a typical narrative structure of an opening teaser introducing the crime, the detectives' quest to solve it while facing problems, and a resolution where the criminal is arrested. The series uses techniques like suspense, clues, and dramatic irony to engage viewers and encourage them to try and solve the crime along with the detectives. Settings, style elements like music and lighting, and character types are all used conventionally for the crime drama genre.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

7. C.S.I – A drama which focuses on the lives and work of police
themselves.
Character Types;
Possible character types include; hero police officer, hero police woman, villain, strange detectives, bad tempered detectives who are able
to solve a crime quickly, double act detectives - e.g. Starsky and Hutch, forensic detectives, medical professionals, phycology
consultants, FBI agents, Lawyers, Informants. Victims and Criminals.
In programmes like C.S.I, usually the victims story is shown in present tense, but when a murder/crime occurs, it is shown in flashbacks,
as though the viewers are meant to relive the trauma that the victims go on, and go on a journey with them as their story is explained
throughout the episode.
It is stereotypical that a crime drama involves victims and criminals. New victims are created in each episode, and detectives/police
officers stay the same. Actors that play the victims are replaced, and forgotten after the next episode is shown. But during an episode of a
crime drama like C.S.I, the audience will sympathise with the victims, because they will become attached to the storyline within the
episode, and want the criminal to be punished for the crime they have committed.
Criminals are also replaced in each episode, which is expected, because they need to be punished for whatever crime they commit in an
episode. However, sometimes, writers may choose to include a particular criminal in another episode which links to the episode in which
they were first in. Playing a criminal doesn’t have to mean that the character is evil, but the writers of the show usually make the character
so that they are disliked, on purpose. The criminal character can be arrogant, have no feelings/show no emotion, and appear hard faced
to the viewing audience, this is done to reflect the role that they are playing.
Before criminals are fully arrested, they are detained in custody, which is part of the police interrogation that usually happens in each
episode. You will typically have two police officers, one who will be kind to the suspect, but only if they cooperate, and then there’s a bad
police officer who tries to intimidate the suspect and ‘bully’ them in to a confession, or to say what they know about what crime has been
committed.
8. C.S.I – A drama which focuses on the lives and work of police
themselves.
Narrative:
C.S.I is a long standing American crime drama which has been on air since October 2000. Crime dramas tend to tell a story for each
episode that is shown, The writers of the show may choose to show two stories In the show which may link to the other case.
Programmes like C,S.I encourages the audience to engage with the programme, and the plot of the episode. C.S.I running time is
usually an hour per episode, and during this time, the audience become involved with the plot, and want to find out what
happens with the involved characters.
Although usually episodes are shown for an hour, to build up suspense within a certain episode, writers may choose to display
the episode over a 2 hour period of time, or a special, where viewers are enticed in to view the crime series again in a week to
conclude the previous episode, and to find out who’s guilty of committing the crime.
A narrative of a crime drama usually follows a structure, of how the episode is supposed to
turn out in the end.. For C.S.I this includes;
An opening teaser; Before the show fully goes in to the plot of the story, the audience are shown a dilemma, which, for crime drama is
usually a murder, as writers tend to focus on things that would create the most worry amongst an audience, but still being able to draw
them in to watch the drama. This usually shows a murder taking place, but it doesn’t show you who is the murderer, it usually is a
silhouette of someone so the audience are unable to tell who the murderer is. This is a good technique, which is particularly used in crime
dramas because it instantly makes the audience want to find out what happens next, until they reach the end of the episode and the crime
has been resolved. C.S.I may also show a blip clip – where the audience are shown a few seconds worth of the crime happening, and then
the scene will change, where the narrative begins, and the audience then have the chance to follow the plot with the detectives , and build
up their own thoughts and opinions on each character, and who they think is guilty.
Quest; Throughout the duration of the show, viewers go on a ‘journey’ with detectives, where the detectives are set a ‘mission’ during the
episode, and it is their job to solve the crime, facing problems, to make the programme more appealing to the audience.
Set Pieces – This is something that has been planned in immaculate and careful detail, to ensure that the programme seems as real as
possible. In C.S.I – this could be the backgrounds used, for instance, the laboratory for testing DNA samples, or it could also be creating the
set for the police cells/interrogation room.
9. Suspense; Suspense is used to build, and create tension in a crime series. This usually makes the audience more involved with the episode,
and involved with the story that the characters are going through. When writers attempt to build up suspense in a crime drama like C.S.I,
they tend to do it over a 2 hour episode, so the viewers don’t‘ find out immediately what is going to happen next. A typical suspense
builder would be for instance when; Detectives think that they have arrested the right person, for a murder, but they haven’t, and there is
still a killer ‘on the loose’ – who sets about murdering more people. They will often fade the 1st episode to black, before showing the next
episode is shown, revealing the consequence.
Cliff-hanger; A cliff hanger is used in a similar way to suspense, the drama that has been created just before the ending of an episode, will
usually run on in to the next episode. Suspense is created from the problem, and how the C.S.I detectives will solve the problem, but
episodes are usually left on a cliff-hanger for effect on the audience.
Enigma; This is usually a person who features in the programme, who speaks in riddles, and usually warns the victims what will happen to
them, sometimes the enigma of the episode ends up being the killer. They also speak to the detectives in the poem, but make no sense,
which makes the detectives confused, and makes their job harder to complete.
Enigma; This is usually a person who features in the programme, who speaks in riddles, and usually warns the victims what will happen to

which makes the detectives confused, and makes their job harder to complete.
Clues; Throughout the duration of an episode of C.S.I. – clues are given to detectives. Some are less obvious than others, but help to piece
together the crime in the end. The clues are given throughout the episode, even if the crime has not yet been committed, this is a technique
often used, where suspects/friends flash back to a moment they recall which ends up being a key part in the case. The programme gives out
clues because it is also another way in which the audience can get involved.
Conflict; Conflict usually occurs In the middle of an episode, and it is usually between a detective and suspect, although, it could also be
between two suspects, which adds more mystery to the episode. Conflict for two suspects could happen at the start of the episode, when a
person is murdered, one of them begins to feel remorse, and the other one doesn’t, which provokes an argument, and also an emotional
response from the reader. However, it could be between two detectives, who have a disagreement over a case, and argue who is guilty,
and who is not.
Dramatic Irony; This is where the viewing audience know more about what is happening in the episode than the characters do. A situation
in which this occurs in C.S.I is when the audience are able to figure out, or are shown, who the murderer is in the episode. As this is
structured so that the detectives go through a process of beginning a case,
Resolution; An ending is made, after the detectives reach a conclusion. The criminals are arrested, and sent to prison, and the victim’s
friends and families get closure, and the detectives/police officers are satisfied knowing they have done their job properly.
10. C.S.I – A drama which focuses on the lives and work of police
themselves.
Setting
Setting is a big part of crime dramas such as C.S.I, as viewers would expect to see the typical things you associate with crimes, the police,
detectives, investigation rooms etc. There are many different locations for C.S.I to be filmed, and they are therefore named after where they
are filmed – C.S.I New York, C.S.I Miami or sometimes just Crime Scene Investigation.
Setting helps to illustrate different events which happen in an episode. So in C.S.I, it is expected that you would see;
• Where the crime happens
• Police visit to the victims house/apartment
• Forensic teams in labs examining evidence
they find
• Investigation rooms
• Police cells
• Criminals house/ place of work
Style
C.S.I uses a lot of hints towards what the plot of the episode is. This can be hinted using how a person presents their self on screen, and how
they act. Different aspects can impact on style such as;
Camera editing/how a scene is filmed;
Different camera angles can be used to hint how the scene should be shown. For instance, a dark scene, and an over shoulder shot could
indicate that whoever the character is in the scene is being secretive, and being followed. If there is a disturbance to the scene then the
camera angle will change, as though that particular part of the episode is shown from a character’s perspective. It is typical that in C.S.I,
shots like landscape view so that the viewing audience can see on a wide scale what is happening in the scene. They may also choose to
use angles like close up and extreme close up to create tension within the scene.
11. Style
Music; The chosen music in an episode can impact on how the mood of the scene is portrayed. In horror films, this is a key aspect to engage the
audience and build up tension so that the right response is made by the audience. For instance, in The Woman In Black, you here non diegetic
sounds which add an effect to the scene. When Arthur Kipps keeps hearing noises from a mysterious location, he begins to be more curious to find
out where the sound is coming from. This provokes a reaction from the audience as well because they’re waiting in anticipation to also find out
what the noise is that Arthur Kipps is hearing.
In C.S.I the typical music that is featured on an episode is put there purposely to add impact to the reader. You may hear sounds that are typical to
where the crime drama is set, so New York is a place notorious for noise and lively activity, meaning you may hear the car horns of impatient taxi’s
and drivers, police sirens, and conversations between people. If a particular scene is meant to have an impact, they may use a piece of music
that isn’t upbeat, for instance when a death happens, you can tell that everybody in the scene shares the same mutual mood of being down, and
upset about the death that occurs, and this is usually at the end of an episode, so it is an overview of the events that have happened, and dull
music is used to reflect the mood of the characters.
Lighting and Colour
Lighting is also another key aspect to hint towards the feelings in a scene, and what is about to happen, dim lighting may have the same effect as
pathetic fallacy, where the weather indicates the immediate mood of the scene. Dim lighting may be associated with an interrogation from police
officers, or it may symbolise that a character is being secretive/private as they walk through the darkness. Different types of lighting is associated
with different situations that may occur within one episode.
Here are some examples as to what types of lighting are used to create desired effect on the audience.
Dim Lighting Bright Lighting
• Death • Happy moods
• Interrogation • To make the criminals feel uncomfortable
• Characters being private/secretive • Make what’s happening in the scene obvious to audience
• Abandoned place • Associated with the setting and expectations of New York
• Adds mystery to the scene and provokes a • Although the scene is bright, it could indicate that
response from the audience, making them something sinister is about to happen in the next scene and
anxious for the characters involved. the audience are just waiting in anticipation off it
happening. This is built up by the other effects such as
music, and how the camera is used within a scene.
12.
13. Dramas which focus on the work of
individual detectives.
Narrative:
Miss Marple is different from other crime drama series’ but has some set similarities. The structure of the episodes
are the same, but how Miss Marple progresses throughout each episode and reaches an eventual conclusion is
through different methods. Miss Marple is similar to mystery dramas like Rosemary and Thyme, they both reach a
conclusion through observations and common sense.
In each episode, the audience begin to see that Miss Marple isn’t “The brains behind the operation” , as she takes a
less central roll to focus on her suspicions within an episode, although through her observations she is the one to
solve the crimes, it is left to other characters – (The Police) to catch the criminals and arrest them. Miss Marple
doesn’t interrogate suspects, or do anything that you would expect in a crime drama that follows police detectives.
Because Miss Marple is an unusual character type for a detective, suspects/criminals aren’t aware of Miss Marple and
the observations she gradually builds up to reach a conclusion towards the end of the episode.
Miss Marple episodes are usually structured over a 1 hour period, in which a crime happens, and it is also resolved.
There may be some exceptions where the episode duration is carried out over a 2 hour period, or it may be an
episode is shown at the same time every week. Although Miss Marple is meant to be a detective who works
individually to solve crimes, there are also some exceptions in episodes which Miss Marple will meet characters
which she enlists to help her solve the crime in a certain episode.
