Para llevar a cabo esta tarea, habrá que centrarse en el estudio de la narrativa audiovisual. Aun así, primeramente, indagaremos en la historia de las miniseries y mostraremos la evolución de las productoras encargadas de la producción de Chernobyl. Una vez terminada la contextualización, nos centraremos en el análisis de las partes que conforman la miniserie, con el propósito de enumerar sus tramas y subtramas, conocer su estructura narrativa, descubrir a los personajes y reflexionar sobre la recreación realista y las licencias tomadas en esta ficción basada en hechos reales. Para proceder, serán necesarios diversos visionados, de los cuales se extraerán los recursos utilizados y nos ofrecerán la posibilidad de esquematizar la información necesaria. A partir del desglose, se pondrá orden, completando cada uno de los aspectos que se pretende desarrollar. Finalmente, y tras una elaborada investigación, se mostrarán una serie de conclusiones personales y el posible futuro de esta producción que se ha convertido en todo un éxito, a pesar de contar uno de los sucesos más tristes y oscuros de la historia de la humanidad.

You’d be hard-pressed to get that from this magazine, however. Companies are hitting MIPCOM with bigger, bolder, and more expensive dramas than ever before.
