Severed head in the fridge - Sherlock - BBC
This clip is from the distinguished television series that is SHERLOCK that brings the world-known famous detective into a modern day-twist.
Sherlock Holmes is presented through an upper class demeena. The director has chosen for us to be aware for this for the representation of his tall frame and how he casually dismisses most people around him. He can easily be seen as a stereotype for the representation of his upper-class accent as well as the stiff body language that juxtaposes with his friend John Watson. we are also given this idea of upper class by the way of which how he pompously strolls in his blue silk dressing gown (silk being an expensive material to buy, as well as the colour of blue connoting the idea of conservative Views).
john seems to be the much more warmer and approachable figure, by the way he always starts the conversations with the cold Sherlock, as well as this, is relaxed slumbering body language is also supported to an affect, with his red shirt, which connotes a sense of peacefulness, tranquillity, as well as the love that his true friendship between his flatmate, Sherlock Holmes.
the director has carefully chosen so as to represent the close friendship between these two, a sit is a main theme that runs throughout the television show. for example the black comedy situation on where John discovers a head being stored in the fridge, although seems rather dark and grotesque, is moved onwards through the narrator by the comical dynamic between two characters as Sherlock casually dismiss the dully fact to his awaiting friend. the director also manages to cross cut between the two characters while each one is talking, as again to present the strong bond that the pair share between them.
I particularly enjoyed the shot on when the director had chosen for the camera to have been placed from within the actual fridge where the had is amongst the main section of our view, to conjure the oddity, thus resulting in the oddity as the audience member who is watching can truly submerge themselves.
Mrs Hudson posses the repsentation of atge; her steryotype is of a foolish and agiated young lady, yet becuase sher is old, she is a side charcter as welll as inferior and weaker when it come sdown to an argument wiith the youthful Sherlock.
