The most mind twisting/bending show I have ever seen. LOST will go down in my history books. It is sad to see that the show is finally ending, but a great relief at the same time. I was in high school when the show premiered over 6 years ago, and have been sucked in ever since.
TRIUNE BRAIN:
Neocortex - This show has your brain thinking in ways you couldn’t image, enough so that it can be hard to keep up.
Limbic - Emotions are elevated big time, with twists and turns all over the island, and determining who is good and who is evil.
Reptilian - It allows you to put yourself into the shoes of the characters and think about how you would survive if it was you who was stranded in that nightmare.
8 TRENDS:
Technological Shift - If you haven’t been able to catch up on LOST, luckily you can watch all previous seasons online at Netflix or abc.com.
Personal Shift - Many people have created both forums and blogs to discuss observations and plot scenarios to answers each other’s questions about the show.
7 PRINCIPLES:
Production Techniques: You will find many when you watch LOST, from learning the backgrounds of just about every character and how they fit into the whole plot of the show. The idea of flash-backs and flash-forward’s is also another fantastic idea to keep you at the edge of your seat.
Individual Meaning - It’s hard to determine whose side to take at any given point in time. Are they good? Are they bad? It’s left up to the viewer to decide who they think is doing the right thing to help everyone survive and get off the island.
Emotional Transfer - One word, Suspense! Emotions and feelings can change in a heartbeat when watching LOST. An example is the video below recapping seasons 1-3.
Pacing – Everything about LOST is done beautifully, however it can be easy to get lost in the show (no pun intended).
PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES:
Rhetorical Questions – Usually found between characters when they are angry at each other, like the mini feud between Jack and Locke that develops in the later seasons. An example is the video below.
Plain Folks – Before crashing on the island, everyone aboard the plane either didn’t know each other, or lived a normal life (with a few exceptions to some characters).
Group Dynamics – Survivors on the island have to work together to survive, and find/make food and shelter.
Strength – There is a lot of leadership throughout the show, many of the characters decide to take on the leadership role and guide everyone to the hopes of getting off the island.
Timing – Amazingly done, once you watch all of LOST (minus what is left of season 6) you slowly start to realize how everything fits and how it is flawlessly done.
