I enjoyed Jason Mittell's lecture. Some of his main points that i found interesting were, his 24 example, The West Wing Clip and the Lost game interface. He spoke of foregrounding in the title of 24. He pointed out how the use of the title giving the audience the content of the show and not the form is a new method used today. I had never thought about how more recent shows have experimented with storytelling narratives/ strategies.
In the West Wing clip Mittell spoke of the content and form of the episode compared with the structure of Bach. Later i learned that the clip used a theraputic narrative. Lastly, the Lost clip of the intricate map that Locke sees was very funny to me after Mittell explained the significance of it. It being similiar to a game interface and somewhat similar to Myst. This was interesting because through this clip and his explanation he was able to explain how these are methods used to engage the audience.
