Sherlock (2010 - Now) / The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1984 - 1994)





Sherlock Homes is not an unfamiliar character for many long years since the book, with great cases of mystery crimes. Over the years, Sherlock Homes have been on television series with new versions and updated. However, the basic idea of the characters involve has not been changed very much between the version, since 1984’s and the most modern on Sherlock.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes were shot on films using the technique such as double explore when the scene is going from one to another location; also close the lens until it goes dark. Although the story is famous as being a mystery with a bit of fear, mostly are delivering through the music or the pace of conversation. Over all it is still consider mellow compare to the newer version.

Because of the modern pace is much faster with the technology that is available for today, such as cell phone and transportations. It is a replacement for the letters, but with shorter and direct conversations, and much faster cars. The cuts are much shorter to create the nervousness in the case, with music which slightly high pitch to get attention. Double exposure were also often used, but it is digital so more of words the images popping out in the air.

The brilliance about the new version is adding the new technology without distorting the expectation for Sherlock Holmes, and the preciseness of science is also heavily involve as old version of it.
