The modern show uses techniques of film to further enhance the scene and the importance of main characters such as Holmes. The film cuts from view to view rapidly following whoever was speaking and followed their movements. The voice of Holmes triumphs over Watsons and is the main source of mood for the entire scene. The shots of Watson tend to show him in the background while Holmes is close to the camera. The view shows the
perspective of where one would be looking if in the room and therefore makes the audience feel as if they are in the room. Holmes is the main character and the entire scene revolves around him much like the entire Sherlock Holmes series of the late 19th century. His outlandish
behavior gets the audience interested and the plot line keeps them interested. The actors dramatized movements make an exciting and engaging screenplay that keeps the everyday viewer interested. Often, actors will overreact or embellish a character in order to illustrate the characters thought process in a more cohesive manner. Had the actors chosen to be dull and unemotional many viewers would not truly understand the character and therefore misinterpret the characters qualities such as Holmes effective use of observation, deduction, and knowledge. The producer (their names) uses all of this to engage the audience.
