When watching a TV drama we should analyse looking for four things:
- Editing.
- Sound.
- Mise en scene.
- Camera shots.
Luther (series 1, episode 1)
- Crime genre.
- Camera shots- Over the shoulder shot, close ups, long shots, varied shots including zooming in of some shots. There is an establishing shot of the setting and a match on action shot of the door, there are also high angle shots.
- Sound- The sound builds up tension throughout the episode, in the tense parts of the episode the sound has a more upbeat tempo. Foley sounds are frequently used and there is set music within the credits. The music is also dramatic to empathize the genre of crime.
- Setting- The location varies in this episode as there are various places in which crimes take place, but the main location is the police force station where all the detective work takes place. This is shown in the establishing shot. The costumes of the characters represent different roles, for example the police officer 'Luther' is dressed in a smart suit to show his high authority. but the innocent victim in the episode is wearing casual clothes to show that they were not prepared for what happened to them. All kinds of emotions are displayed through the characters.
- Ethnicity - It is rare that the police officer is black.
There wasn't much of an introduction, the episode was fast pace and cut straight to the point. Most of the shots were blurred by objects or effects. The lighting was very naturalistic and changed depending on character being displayed at the time. The credits begin after 5 minutes of the episode.
