Life on mars analysis

Crime drama conventions present:
Male oriented
Sacrifices in private lives from dedicated detectives
Conflict between different modes of policing

Bathes hermeneutic code applies to this episode as an enigma is created when the main protagonist is sent back in time and the audience wonders if it is real or a dream.

The episode shows a state of equilibrium at the beginning, then a shift in equilibrium when the protagonist is hit by the car and sent back in time, then begins to return to equilibrium as he realises this.

The unique selling point of life on mars is that it is set back in time in the 1970's but that the detective isn't from there.

The target audience may appreciate a larger mystery and enigma created by the time shift, as well as relatablility to older people of their youthful time period.

The episode shows steve reales theory as the repetition is the episode following the regular police programme catch the killer style, however the difference is a shift in time periods, with the potential of time travel.

Film festivals are a good way for independent films to get distributed and noticed as usually the actors are not very ...
