This clip shows the classic narrative of detective visiting the crime scene, getting hunches immediately leading to the murderer. In this scene Detective John Barnaby is looking for clues. The programme takes place in the country which is shown through the mise en scene which is crucial (the breakfast set,wooden furniture, countryside background. Common shots uch as mid shots, two shots and close up are used making it conventional for TV dramas. Occasionally the camera will zoom into Barnaby when he gets a clue or an idea, this helps the audience identify unique situations during the programme. The show is aired on ITV 1 and lasts approximately 120 mins (including adverts). The long running time makes the show more cinematic, which would be appealing to the audience. The cinematography as briefly discussed earlier, is simple with bright lighting perhaps symbolising the uncovering of crimes.
This is the first shot. It is a close up of blood being swabbed . It's shocking and will immediately capture the audiences attention thus hopefully hooking them for the remainder of the show.
An effective analysis, you are clearly thinking of the diffferenes between the conventional and unconventional openings of the two different crime dramas. (+)
