Sherlock
There are many qualities starting from mise en scene and
from the technical point of view first of I must talk about the TV series
itself Sherlock very popular TV series based in the UK more specifically in
London. The main character from the TV series is a man named Sherlock holmes
and his trusty companion James Watson they both lived together at 221 Baker
Street both work together to investigate crimes such as murder theft and
missing items.
Costumes in the TV series multiple different looks such as
Sherlock Holmes’s outfit is normally a combination of the suit trenchcoat
routes and deerstalker hat but then when compare James Watson’s outfit it is
more casual normally wears a shirt and leather jacket and jeans and boots. The
interesting thing about Sherlock TV series is that it’s the only Sherlock
Holmes inspired series that is set in the modern day.
The make up in the series is all very natural any main clear
signs of make up is when either they get scratched bruised. Other parts of make
up within the TV series is mainly even towards dead bodies blood and silly
things such as James Watson’s moustache.
The movement within the series very fluid or very still it
is very fluid scenes such as when James Watson and Sherlock Holmes have their arms
handcuffed together and running through the streets. The scenes are very fluid
is when Sherlock Holmes was explaining how he faked his own death. Other scenes
that are more still more often when Sherlock Holmes playing his violin only a
very still shot or it’s more than zoom, very specific angle of the scene that
is very still also slightly fluid twin James Watson and Sherlock Holmes first
meet each other to see Sherlock flogging a dead body to see if it was bruised man
was killed in another way in the same scene James Watson comes into the room
somewhat more still shot as he has a limp and a walking stick.
The lighting within the TV series is all very natural or it
would appear so they try to make you look natural lighting such as positioning of
where the lights are room Street were a warehouse see the lights on natural
some probably are not supported stage lights make them look like natural lights.
Other trickery that they do with lights the specifically sometimes put lighting
certain object or person to make you look more and be aware of the surroundings
other lighting that is used as such as when Sherlock Holmes users his mind
Palace investigate the situation when he does this the lighting comes slightly
dimmer and the lighting becomes more intense with the writing what he’s
thinking.
The colouring in the TV series is normally a mixture of
greys whites and Blacks you sometimes get a hint very extreme lighting such as
when they are drunk and clubbing is very blurry as a very intense lighting within
the blurriness also colouring it on some very interesting ways of showing stuff
such as women are trying to investigate the death of a woman dressed in pink
the investigation through course of the episode episode is very tricky to
understand thing you do understand by the end of it when they find the suitcase
that Sherlock Holmes was looking for very obviously the dead woman’s suitcase because
it is as bright as her pink outfit you know immediately they are connected.
