“…A "narrative mode" is, in Bordwell's words, a canonically defined collection of rules of "narrational formation and comprehension," one that cuts across genres, particular authors, and aesthetic movements to create a unified group of practices. Bordwell and Thompson (1985) identifies specific cinematic modes, such as classic Hollywood, art cinema, and historical materialism, each of which employs a unique storytelling technique while drawing from and referencing earlier forms. Although there is no doubt that cinema influences many aspects of television, particularly in terms of visual style, it is inadvisable to map a model of storytelling tied to self-contained feature films onto the ongoing long-form narrative structure of series television, where ongoing continuity and seriality are key features.…”

The world of visual storytelling has taken many forms over the last century. The narrative approaches have constantly changed along with advancement of technology. This study attempts to look at how the 21st century’s prominent technological advancement, the internet, has influenced the script writing process and narrative techniques of television series. Using the poetics of complex TV, a textual analysis of the pilot episode of Suzhal - The Vortex was conducted. It is seen that the quintessential complex TV elements such as ambiguity, use of the anti-hero, and multiple plots, which existed in the West, have started to manifest in Tamil OTT series, with Suzhal - The Vortex serving as a microcosm of a larger trend.

“…7 While widely known by now and influential in film studies, the rigour of Salt's method was hotly debated in the 1970s and 1980s. Film scholars like Kristin Thompson and David Bordwell pointed to several inconsistencies, such as the circumstance that Salt initially calculated ASLs using 30-minute samples, which he regarded as representative, and not entire films (Bordwell & Thompson 1985). This, they argued, led Salt to provide inaccurate data himself.…”

A few years back we embarked on an expedition into the rapidly transforming landscape of data research, the narratives of big data and the practices emerging with novel data resources, tools and new directions of social and cultural inquiry. This book represents our own experiences and impressions of this journey. We were out there on unfamiliar and at times even uncharted territory. Often we depended on the help of more learned colleagues who generously shared their knowledge, gave us directions or helped with problems. Many of them became authors for this book and we would like to thank them for trusting us with collecting their contributions and presenting them in a joint volume. The editors wish to thank the Utrecht Data School staff Thomas Boeschoten, Irene Westra, Iris Muis, Daniela van Geenen and Gerwin van Schie for their input and for providing an intellectually stimulating work environment. With the Utrecht Data School we have created a place where ambitious and enthusiastic students can meet to join us in this exploration. We are grateful for having the rare opportunity of conducting research together with students from whom we can learn so much and whose insatiable curiosity is an inspiration as well as a constant reminder of why we became teachers in the first place. Our gratitude extends also to the Institute of Cultural Inquiry and the open access fund at Utrecht University for enabling us to make this book open access. A special thanks to William Uricchio, Fernando van der Vlist and Eef Masson for their helpful comments and advice at various stages of the editing process. Finally, we are particularly grateful to Nicolás López Coombs for helping us with the editing and the formatting of the book, but most importantly for keeping an eye on our timeline. Mirko Tobias Schäfer & Karin van Es Anywhere but in their office, 2016 This book is an important contribution towards meeting the challenges of the platform-driven, data-fuelled world in which we have all come to live.
