Sherlock Holmes Review

2009's Sherlock Holmes Directed by the famous Guy Richie is a fictional about a detective further created by Arthur Conan Doyle. The film is intriguing, but a sense of humour has been brought to give the film a more interesting twist. This effect was used well by choosing Robert Downey Jr as the main character Holmes. His skills were the ability to see things others could not, and this was the art of detection, but he also brings a lot of wit to the audience. His right hand man the intelligent Doctor Watson, played by Jude law, acts as his conscience throughout the film. The third character Irene Adler, played by the famous Rachel McAdams is your typical leading lady, and brings a romantic twist.
The film is very spectacular when it comes to the effects, and Richie as gone full out to make this film exciting and fast paced. to do this he used various shot types, such as from high to low angles, and dissolving scenes into the next.
He also effectively added the contrast from the fast breathtaking events in the outdoor setting of London, to the element of the fighting scenes, and the explosions.
This gave the film a lot of excitement, which i thoroughly enjoy in a film.
I would highly recommend a wide range of audience to watch it as it is an easy watch, and has elements that suit different age groups.
I think the characters were picked well, and the setting, costume and effects were amazing.

Reverse Tracking shot

Whip pan

A whip pan is a type of pan shot in which the camera moves sideways so quickly that the picture blurs into indistinct streaks. It is commonly used as a transition between shots, and can indicate the passage of time and/or a frenetic pace of action.

Tracking Shot

This example of a tracking shot has been taken from the film Kill Bill. We are following two women, and with the camera angles changing from high angle to low angle we get a sense of a chase. Tracking shots do usually give the impact of someone going to a person or reaching a certain destination.

Panning Shot

This is a panning shot. This type of shot tries to make the audience feel involved in the surroundings they are watching. In this particular Pan shot, the cameraman shows a full 360' of the surroundings for the viewers to see the entire museums artifacts. He has moved slowly so that we can concentrate on what we are looking at. This shot would be used in shots to show setting and surrounding without cutting to another shot.
