TV Drama - Clip Analysis

True Blood:
Dark outside, red and black
muted lighting, backlighting - internal struggle shadows
dramatic music, percussion, increased speed
cuts got faster as music increased - Tension
gunshot emphasised by music stopping
Smooth filming

The Wire:
Very dark, gloomy, noisy, chaotic,
long shots, camera pans around, as if the character is looking around him
characters dressed in dark colours, blended in with the gloom
music rumbling, bass blended with chaos of sounds on set
