Sherlock:
I analysed
this opening sequence which is visually stunning and combines film footage with
VFX to create an authentic Victorian period quality. For example, the titles
appear to be hand written on old paper in sepia ink and watery blotches and ink
splatters. Pen and ink line wash is used in combinations with longitudinal lino
type. Many still photographic close-ups of the heroic protagonists merge with
live action, again bringing this Victorian period drama up to date. The colours
are all muted to suggest the gas-lit streets and murky corners of the Victorian
underworld, a place of danger and fear and crime lurks in the shadows.
