In The Good Doctor, the young Dr. Shaun Murphy (Protagonist), who has both savant syndrome and autism leaves a quiet country life and joins the surgical unit of a prestigious hospital, St. Bonaventure Hospital where he faces the challenge of skeptic colleagues with whom he is unable to connect personally (complicating action). (Resolution)Even though he cannot connect personally with the people around him, Murphy uses his extraordinary skills to save lives of patients and challenge the skepticisms of his colleagues like Neil Melendez (Antagonist).
In this episode, Shaun Murphy is on his way to commence his residency at St. Bonaventure Hospital when he witnesses an accident in which a falling airport sign shatters glass onto a young boy. He uses improvised tools and methods to stabilize the boy thereby impressing the hospital’s president who later tries to vouch for him to be hired by the board.
Step 4
The show has a cross-generational appeal evidenced by the use of characters of both young and adult characters.
Step 5
In the scene where Dr. Murphy uses telekinetic ability to diagnose and treat the injured boy, the production style is sci-fi since it explores an imagined concept.

I the scene featuring other staff from Bonaventure Hospital mixing business with pleasure, the production style is film noir.
Step 6
The tempo of the accompanying music changes with the emotional intensity of scenes. The volume of the music varies with scenes or particular characters. Instrumentation also changes with the environment.
Step 7
The episode used basic product placement. Though the advertisement in this episode is limited, the few products are chosen with the target audience in mind. The City of San Jose, for example, is advertised in the episode by making the city’s logo visible.
