Each episode begins with a prologue of a few minutes until you reach a point of high drama. At this point, the writing appears LOST in white on a black background, which revolves increasingly closer to the viewer to the accompaniment of an indistinct sound. Then the narrative resumes, and is now beginning to appear in the headlines. The final episode involves instead a reverse procedure: after a final usually made of a cliffhanger , the image changes abruptly and shows the message LOST , this time setting, accompanied by a noise like an explosion.
As for the internal structure of the episode, in most cases two separate stories are told: an overview, that narrates the events on the island and continues from point to point, and a side story , focused on events related to a single character and point of view of the latter, presented by flash alternate to the main story and this more or less connected. The transition to the flash from the events on the island (and vice versa) is signaled by a sound like thunder of an engine, increasing intensity. Until the third season finale, these flash consisted exclusively of flashback : they were told that past events related to the characters. Then they began to be used also flashforward , which meets the condition of some of the characters at a time after the main story. In the fifth season, the alternation between narrative stories set on the island and the mainland, in different moments in the history , a mechanism that the show's producers Cuse and Lindelof have called flashpresent , in the second half of the season, the form and return the original. In the sixth and final season, a new plot device is used, defined flash sideways , which is to show two parallel realities together, that at some point in the season will be based, until you reach a point where there will be no flash of any kind .
partial exception to this narrative structure which have occurred in The Other 48 Days (the episode is made entirely of a long flashback ) Deja vu and Constant (where it follows a completely different), Ji Yeon (presence of flashback and flashforward ) Exodus ( first and second part ) , Confirmed Dead , Like Home ( first , second and third parts ) (flashes refer to more than one character), The absence and the void , Namaste , The new leader (total absence of side stories ).
