thermogravimetric analysis
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measures the change in mass of a substance as it is heated. In TGA, a sample is heated at a controlled rate in a furnace while its weight is continuously monitored using a microbalance. The weight change is plotted against temperature or time to produce a thermogram. Factors like heating rate, furnace atmosphere, sample weight and particle size can affect the TGA curve. TGA is used to study processes like decomposition, oxidation, and moisture loss that cause weight changes in materials when heated.
Dexter Analysis
The opening title sequence of the show 'Dexter' lasts 1 minute and 36 seconds. It uses different camera angles throughout Dexter's morning routine to subtly demonstrate how he could kill or murder someone through his daily actions. The title of the show being written in blood insinuates a deeper, non-innocent meaning and draws the audience in to find out where the blood came from. Specific shots, like Dexter holding his shirt tight to his face, can be interpreted as depicting methods of murder like suffocation rather than straight-forward actions.

Dexter Analysis
- 1. DEXTER
- 2. Purpose • The purpose of Dexter is to leave a tense atmosphere for the audience making them want to know more about Dexter as a character and how he became who he is in the show. • Supposed to leave the audience on edge but sympathetic for the character and to understand what he goes through as the TV show Progresses and you see a change in Dexter as in a way he is like the hero of the Series
- 3. Form and Style • Length of one episode is 50 minutes, the story is abut a blood spatter analyst working for the Miami metro police department who goes out and kills people who have killed others and got away from the justice system. the idea is to leave the audience in a tense atmosphere; wanting to further watch the TV show different themes: Justice, death,
- 4. Content • Key characters are: Dexter Morgan, Debra Morgan, Angel Batista, Harry Morgan, Vince Masuka and Maria LaGuerta. These characters were of key importance to the show as we could see how Dexter could manipulate them at work to think he was an ordinary person who works and then goes home but really goes out killing people who deserved to die.
- 5. Meaning • The meaning of the show could be that anyone around you; your closest friends, co-worker could be hiding a secret. Or that the justice system isn’t perfect and there are people still out there who kill people. Crime doesn’t end; no matter what you try to do to stop it • Shows that peoples morals are very different, some are loyal to the justice system and others will do anything to escape it.
- 6. Genre • Crime drama/ thriller. • The TV show definitely puts a spin on the Genre as the protagonist is the killer in the show and you follow his story. You sympathise from him as he has a genetic impulse to kill people but he has a code to only kill other murderers, so you support him through the series.
- 7. Target Audience • TV ratings from IMDb gave an 8.9 out of 10 for Dexter • Won 2 golden Globes, following another 40 wins and 176 nominations. • Show was aimed at a target audience of 16 and over because of its chilling, innovative and stimulating format. The series effectively captures a variety of codes and conventions which are typically associated with the “thriller genre”.
- 8. Frequency • You would need to watch the show from the beginning to understand why he has this impulse to kill. • you also need to watch from the beginning to help understand how he developed from his original state and how he learned to sustain the urge to kill. • Was shown every week for 12 weeks as there is only 12 episodes per season.
- 9. Production Process • To create a long form TV show there are multiple steps. The first step is pitching the initial idea. First the idea is pitched to a studio, then once the show has the studio backing it they will take it to a network and pitch it there. If the studio and network like the idea, they will refine the idea, change the things they want and write draft pilot script. Over time this script will be refined until it’s the best it can be. Once the scrip has been finished they will start with casing. This is choosing all the actors that they want to play characters in the show. • Once the actors are chosen, filming and post-production will take place. Once the pilot has been completed it will be advertised and shown at an event. From hear the show will receive feed back and be asked questions. If the initial feed back is positive the show will be developed into a series.
