Real time [ edit ]
24 (Twenty Four) is a thriller displayed in real time. This means that one minute in real life lasts for 1 minute in the series. This concept proves itself. Like a character from point A to B should drive that normally takes 15 minutes, this will in most series two minutes to complete, the so-called "fast forward" principle. In 24 yet this actually takes 15 minutes.

The commercials during the series are exactly aligned with the passage of time. After a commercial break of 5 minutes, the clock is ticking out and the time. An episode lasts effectively therefore only an average of 42 minutes.

Thanks to the real principle happen in the series thus certain things simultaneously. 24 likes to do with the split system. The image is split into three or four smaller blocks, where four separate events are seen apart from each other. They also use this system to show a scene from several sides. This picture-in-picture system has over time become a kind of trademark for the series.

[Film and Mounting Style edit ]
24 (Twenty Four) has a distinctive visual style. The leader consisting of a ticking clock is the beginning and end of each episode. Each episode lasts exactly 60 minutes (including commercials), 24 episodes make first season consisting of 24 hours.

The leader starts' -24-'logo followed by start time in hours, minutes, seconds, and AM / PM. Each episode begins to show and for whole hours to: 08:00:00 AM. In between is regularly displayed in a small clock. With split screen (Picture In Picture), multiple events occurring simultaneously or the same event but shown from a different perspective (camera position). 1 to 2 minutes before the end of the episode will be more events, usually more than two, simultaneously in split screen shown. An episode ends with a ticking clock.

24 is characterized by filming in handheld style, camera work from the shoulder (or "whether or not" fixed in a harness, such as steadicam ).

Storylines [ edit ]
The storylines in 24 are often complex and are quickly told. A recurring element 24 is that the characters should opt for something tragic to a greater good. In season 2 was an employee of the Defense Department to alert the chance CTU for an attack on their building, but that would mean that the identity of Jack Bauer, who at that time in the group that would carry out the attack infiltrated, known he would be giving some information that could save lives could not get. In season 3 the President and CTU agents must choose between the life of a high CTU employee and the risk of attacks. In Season 6, Jack Bauer must choose between sacrificing himself or the continuation of terrorist attacks in the United States by terrorists.

In a season multiple storylines that are treated at the same time playing. Usually turns out later that the family or person being tracked in one of those storylines has something to do with the main plot. The main plot involves terrorists. CTU and other government agencies have to prevent the commission of terrorists can focus slightly. In addition to actions of CTU, the President and the subplots in which a family or individual is followed, we also get to see what Jack Bauer does. On the person Jack Bauer elaborates than other characters, as are his relationships (he had with Kate Warner, Claudia and Audrey Raines) and also personal problems treated. In each of the eight seasons Jack Bauer breaks do multiple CTU protocols to get something done.
