- One thing that is becoming
increasingly clear with my analyses is that the period drama relies
on one caring about the characters. This, of course, relies on great
dialogue but, more importantly, it relies on close shots of the
lovers.
- Silhouetted 2 shots are important to
creating a romantic feel.
- There should be a good variation of
long shots / establishing shots in order to have the viewer aware of
the setting.
- Weather should give-off a sense of
emotion within the scenes. As does lighting.
- Costumes should be well chosen,
relevant and work together cohesively.
- A good number of scenes should be
outside due to the rurality of traditional period dramas.
- POV shots are occasionally effective
when used properly.
- In general, shots should be
ambitiously set-up and should be aesthetically pleasing.
- Music should only be used in
appropriate moments and silence (in terms of backing music) is not a
bad thing.
- Editing should flow and be seamless,
shots should follow on from one another in order to allow the story
to progress.
