Analyses Silent Witness

Silent Witness its a series which are shown on BBC. Each episode is 60 minutes long and each represents a story mainly its a crime story. This is mainly viewed by the age of 16 and above younger viewers might find it not suitable for them due to some scenes shown.
The opening of the episode that i have seen was tense and for someone who does not follow the story does not know what is going on in there. At the start of the episode there are no titles shown this probably means that the viewers are well introduced to them from watching them in the past. However the titles appear after few scenes right after 2 minutes of the episode being shown and the title at the bottom of the screen shows the title of the episode to give the audience an idea of what will happen perhaps. We get introduced to the character who is running but he does it with anger and during it we see some flashbacks of him in the army which makes him very angry. Straight away we can tell that this character is clearly upset, full of anger and he was the opening of the episode which the camera focused on for few good minutes so this suggests he will have something to do with the episode later on perhaps the camera might want us to remember his face as he might appear later on but in different light.
When looking at the language that is used in there its quite strong at the beginning because of the anger between the two characters which one of them is murdered just later in the episode along with some tense music to show the audience the emotions and to set some kind of atmosphere.
The scenes take place in 3 different locations where we meet different character so we get introduced to them by each scene as we find out something about them such as the way they dress and speak suggests they are middle class people.Mise en scene sets the atmosphere and really sinks the audience in because of the way its all played out and shown.
As said before there was a tense music used and digetic sound relevant with the scene like in the court when the two characters were arguing. This is done so we can see or hear that the scenes takes place in the court and feel the emotions.
The scenes are all set in the day time and the lighting used was very good to perhaps make the space brighter such as in the office where its a building we as an audience want to be able to see what is going on between the characters.
