Sherlock Holmes - Game Of Shadows

                             

firstly the film opens with an animation listing the producers and studios involved. the layout of this animation is similar to a very old book, from this we can deduct that this film is probably not set in modern times. the next thing i notice is the text color and font, it is all black and ink like as if it was hand written witch fits the theme of the film being set in the past. the animation then follows through the book as if it were being read by us (the viewers.) the camera also moves from an eye view, like we're looking out the eyes of the person ready. it then fades to a magnifying glass and a stopwatch, this signifies a classic stereotypical 16th century detective. the camera then pans across some paper with writing on it, from this i now know we are most likely in a writers study. as the camera continues to pan it reveals a typewriter which confirms my previous theory. a voice over then starts to tell the story Watson is typing. the camera shows his face so we know what the character/writer looks like as he continues to tell the story as he continues to tell his story his voice is interupted by a loud explosion which would draw the viewers attention to the screen. we then follow a package being carried around by a lady who is revealed to be the women from the previous sherlock homes film. the camera then draws attention to a man in disguise gathering beans and other sorted seeds. he then begins to talk to the women indicating a relationship between the two of them. the clothes worn also confirms me previous theory of the film being set in the 16th-18th century.
