Two TV drama evaluations :)

Hollyoaks

In Hollyoaks they use a variety of camera angle from long shots to close ups. There are many close ups used to show the intensity within the show singling out the culprit of the main story line adding the atmosphere and mood to the TV drama.
An extreme long shot was used at the beginning of almost every scene to show the audience where we are watching, zooming into the set to show the characters we will be following in this part of the show. Tracking shots and panning shots were used a lot going back and forth from each character as they both speak to each other, this has been used to show who is speaking, using close ups to show the emotion on each characters face as they hear the reply creating the mood of the drama.
Mid shots were used to show the emotion between two character shown when two characters are hugging, you are able to see the emotion on both of their faces.
An arc shot was used as one of the characters gave a speech in the villiage allowing us to see all the characters in a semi circle sort of way. Point of view is also used a lot such as when Stephs family are watching the video she left when she dies we were watching this as their eyes.

CSI Miami

Close ups are the main camera shot used in this TV drama as it is a crime thriller, showing us the bodies as it zooms in onto the injuries that the victim has endured. Close ups have also been used a lot to show the emotion on the characters face, as they find out what has happened, creating the intensity to the show. Extreme long shots are used between every scene as it gives us a shot of Miami reminding us where the drama is set. Long shots are also used showing us the scene of the crime zooming into the victim or any objects that give clues to solving the crime. Point of view has been used to show a threat letter that links to the crime.Tilt shots are used to go down to or up to a symbolising object making it look scary such as a murder weapon.
