Sherlock

This morning I watched the first episode of the Sherlock TV series while I did my laundry. I had seen the first couple episodes a few years back, but I wanted to refresh my memory. I'm glad I did! This time I paid more attention to the different camera angles, shots, and POVs and what they added to the scenes. I really enjoyed that the episode started by introducing us to John Watson. It makes us more familiar with him and it makes Sherlock Holmes seem more mysterious. I also really love how the show portrays Sherlock's thought process when he's at the crime scene. The text that pops up on screen makes the audience aware of exactly what Sherlock is thinking. Once I watch more of the show, I'll make a more in depth post comparing the original works by Arthur Conan Doyle to the TV series.
