Suggestions
Positioned with Saga & the restricted narrative means that we only know what she knows. We therefore seek answers to narrative enigma codes (as defined by Barthes) as Saga does – what is going on?
We solve the mystery alongside her and become part of the team. This fulfils the audience’s need for belonging or social needs within Blumler & Katz’ Uses & Gratifications model.
Positioned to decode Saga as “different” (lack of social awareness, literal interpretations) but sympathetic and vulnerable – particularly through her backstory (sister) and her relationship with her mother.Positioned with Mathias – back after ten years in the Met - to see Aberystwyth and its people as ‘different’, or ‘stranger’, more elemental than ‘civilised’.
Positioned with the forces of law & order to see certain criminal behaviours as deviant.
