Sherlock questions

 

Sherlock – The Blind Banker

 

 1. Yes, I think the episode does follow a 3-act structure and/or classical Hollywood narrative because at the beginning we are introduced to the problem which is the murder case and seeing the cyphers. This then leads to the second part where the characters need to solve and try to figure out this problem, by following leads and collecting more clues. Which all then builds up to the final part of the episode where the problem is figured out and a new equilibrium is found as they found out who was behind the murders, but they ended up getting away. Meaning it was not all completely resolved in the end like a typical Hollywood narrative would be.  

                           

2.       2. Binary opposition is applied to this episode because for the majority of the episode it is more a case of man against the unknown antagonist, as we don’t know yet who it is that Sherlock is trying to fight against.

 

 3. Sherlock Holmes – Male – Protagonist – Wants to solve the crime

  Dr. John Watson- Male -

  Sarah – Female – Damsel in distress -

  Soo Lin Yao – Female -

  General Shan – Female – Antagonist – Trying to collect back the piece of stolen artifact.

4.  The episode varied slightly with the shooting script as some of the scenes that were in the script were not then in the episode, for example one of these were scene 5 and 6 in the script which is taking place at Eddies flat, which we don’t know who that is yet. I think if they had kept this part in the episode it would have been to much confusement for the start of the episode as the part before that it was when Soo Lin was at the museum, and none of the audience know who any of these people are or what is going on yet.
