RESEARCH / PLANNING: ENIGMA, SUSPENSE & JEOPARDY

I watched crime drama and identified certain camera shots and movements, visual and sound codes. I explain why I have picked each still in the caption below it. 


This screenshot is from The Wire and shows a close up, low down shot, of a man picking up some evidence from the scene of a crime, and placing it in a small plastic bag. This would be good for my crime/drama film opening as it looks very professional and allows the viewers to become much more intrigued what has happened and how everything is being taken into fine detail. 
This screenshot is from CSI, and shows a special effect camera effect, portraying the aim of a sniper rifle on the head of the main character or CSI. This is an extremely exciting screenshot and similar effects would be great in my crime/drama film opening considering there is a murder early on in our planned opening to the film.
This screenshot is from Morse which is a very popular crime drama on TV. This screenshot shows an image of an injured hand most likely in a attack and is very relevant to my crime/drama short film opening because there is a crime in the opening and unique images like this could be used in my film opening to make it seem more realistic and interesting.

This screenshot is from Endeavour. I like this screenshot as I like the particular way the camera is focused on both people in the shot, however, you can still see both men even though one is dead on the floor whilst the other is examining him. This is extremely relevant to our crime/drama opening because in my opening there is a murder very early on and images like this give me great ideas to potentially use in the film.
