Narrative & Genre: Idea Development

I have started the essay on "Dexter", analysing it's use of genre and narrative tools and looking at online media transmissions. 

My structure so far is as follows:
  • Introduction into 'Dexter' - what, where from, who, channel, ethos
  • What is genre - audience expectations, scheduling
  • The crime genre - narrative characteristics and conventions, developments and representations
  • Refer to examples - narrative and genre tools, codes and conventions
  • American TV - characteristics, audience expectations, 'flexi-narrative'
  • Fanbases - online content, audience readings and receptions, social-networking - shift in power 
  • Conclusion - answer the question, examined genre and narrative tools - how have they been affected?
