LIVRO CSI and Forensic Medicine (Medicine in Television Series) (English Edition) PDF Adriana Farré

According to the experts, the original series and its franchises owe their success to blending crime fiction and medical or scientific genres, as well as their style of filming. In terms of the former, the highlight is on the preciseness and detail in the gathering and analysis of the evidence, taking the perspective of a forensic autopsy, the use of fast, sophisticated technology to conduct analyses, including genetics and toxicology, and the investigators’ scientific knowledge.In its day, CSI used an innovative method of filming, using many special effects, plus original use of color and light. Furthermore, it is filmed on 35-mm cameras, typically used in film. The storylines tend to happen at night, the cutting is frenetic, the action changes quickly between interiors and exteriors while the aesthetic in certain scenes resembles a video clip. The initial hypothesis of the facts and their resolution are presented as a flashback, either in black and white or sepia.Due to its popularity, it has received several criticisms both for its degree of graphic violence and sexual content as well as for the rather unrealistic image of the procedure for solving a crime. It has been accused of being thoroughly excessive in its violence. It does not shy from clearly showing the injuries victims suffer (always with plenty of blood), nor does it avoid decomposing flesh riddled with revealing insects. During the necropsy, cadavers are clearly shown with their entrails on view. They carry out simulations of blows, reconstructions of the identity of the guilty, and each meticulous detail in the lab analysis of the evidence is always shown. One of the most original aspects of the series since it began is the use of enlargements and micro-cameras to show wounds in the greatest detail, reveal a bullet’s trajectory, or explore injuries or the inside of organs.
