Lost
Identify who is the intended audience of your chosen text.

Lost is a popular sky 1 drama directed by J.J Abrams. The dramas target audience is passive and mainstream audiences. The director of the show uses many conventions to appeal to the intended target audience.

The first example of a convention used which justifies that Lost is a mainstream text is the use of a non-linear narrative. This is when the narrative is not shown in chronalogical order. This is present in the text when we see Charly in the jungle after the crash has taken place, we then see him have a flashback of when he was on the plane. This is a popular convention used in drama, as lots of other texts from with in the genre use non-linear narratives.
