Let’s dive into this world with Raymond Reddington (James Spader) who will take us on a journey full of mystery and excitement. The Blacklist, is a typical American crime thriller network series of the 21st century, premiered on NBC on September 23 in 2013. In this paper, I will be analyzing the narrative structure of Joen Bokenkamp’s creation, its progression and evolution throughout the first season only. Narrative complexity, dominant types and styles has changed by the time, so this series does not present an exception of its generation. However it offers plenty of interesting points to talk about and a rich structure to analyze.

Starting from drawing and painting on rock with ancient civilizations to pop arts, film and publicities nowadays, visuals are in front of our eyes anytime, anywhere, and are accordingly an integral part of our daily lives. This study will focus on a specific work of visual art, by presenting and describing it before discussing its different analyses, interpretations and usage among the public. Since painting was and still is a main reference for filmmakers, and as a cinema student, I decided to pick a work that has been an inspiration for many films and an attraction to different analyses. In the following, I will be dealing with a 1781 painting, The Nightmare by Johann Heinrich Füssli or as known simply, Henry Fuseli.

Many believe that the whole film is shown in the first shot, and if it is true, of course it is not a coincidence at all. Throughout the last century, master filmmakers used their openings in a very intriguing way that viewers can relate and understand them after watching the film. Nevertheless, styles, disciplines and approaches differ among different directors. Abbas Kiarostami, one of the main figures of the new movement of Iranian cinema, offered the audience some complicated films using very simple techniques and cinematography. His style was often called “The minimalist cinema of Abbas Kiarostami”. His works always call for interpretation, as he never leaves his audience with a clear answer or a direct ending. Kiarostami’s 1999 film The Wind Will Carry Us is one of his typical spiritual work where two big disciplines interfere: narratology and semiology. One affects and completes the other, meaning that Kiarostami used his simple narratology to express his complicated semiology, his signs and clues. And oppositely, he used semiology to give a truthful meaning to his story, his narratology. I chose this film to dive into its establishing shot, which is simple in terms of technique and narration, but extremely rich in signs and symbols.
