RESEARCH / PLANNING: ENIGMA, SUSPENSE & JEOPARDY

(Use this as a model for your post)
I have identified certain shot types, camera movements, visual and sound codes that I find inspiring. In the caption to each shot I explain why I have drawn attention to it.


From Inspector Montalbano: A wide, high angle shot that functions as an establishing shot conveys the location, crime and personnel quickly to the audience.

From Lewis: A high angle shot positions two detectives moving rapidly through a crime scene and talking rapidly on the phone. The audience can share their haste and sense of urgency; the mise-en-scene of the grand surroundings is established effortlessly.

Smoke moves across the screen during the title sequence of Silent Witness, creating mystery and secrecy by half obscuring the letters. The graphics suggest what might be seen through a microscope slide, in keeping with the forensics of crime detection.
