 Description
• Created by Dan Goor and Michael
Schur, the series revolves around

Precinct, who comes into conflict
with his new commanding officer,
the serious and stern Captain
Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher).

Camera
Brooklyn Nine-Nine uses the cinematic technique called “hand-held camera” in which a cameraman
deliberately doesn’t put a camera on a stand so then there would be more movement for the camera,
additionally it makes the audience feel a part of the program, instead of sitting in a stationary, frozen
position. Furthermore the cameraman tends to zoom out and in if they want particular shots, rather than
retaking certain shots, both saving time and directing the audience on whether they should be looking at
a character’s reaction or an entire scene.

drowsy places

shot live and not in post.
