Brooklyn Nine Nine

Brooklyn Nine Nine (2013-Present) There are multiple directors of Brooklyn Nine Nine
Brooklyn Nine Nine is a crime sitcom that follows what it is like for police detectives in Brooklyn New York as they solve crimes but they have a comedic aspect to it. Brooklyn Nine Nine has been aired on many different channels but it was originally aired on Fox but it has now been put on streaming sites like Netflix and Youtube. I have decided to use an iconic scene where one of the main Characters has decided to use the song "I want it that way" to find a criminal as the witness only knows his voice.
The scene starts of with an over the shoulder shot of all the suspects as you have Jake talking to the witness about which one of the suspects that she thinks did it. It then cuts quickly to a two shot of the characters from a mid shot perspective as they continue to talk about the witnesses. It then cuts to a mid shot of the witness as she continues to describe what she knows about the murderer to Jake who is a detective. The scene then continues to use the mid shots, two shots, over the shoulder shots throughout the rest of the scene with constant cuts between the witness and Jake and also between the suspects as the scene of them singing keeps on going back and fourth. This scene contains very little to no camera movement as it is all set in two rooms of a police officer so there is not much room for the camera to move but there is the occasional bit of movement where the camera is focusing on suspect one and then it moves over to suspect 2. This scene shows that Brooklyn Nine Nine is a sitcom and crime genre as there is a detective who is trying to solve the crime of a murder but he is adding comedy to it by having the suspects sing so that the witness can say who the criminal is. They have managed to keep continuity in this scene as the lighting in both the rooms are kept the same so that the lighting is not different. The costumes that have been used for the Detective, the witness and the suspects have all been kept the same. The setting of this scene has been kept the same which helps the audience to feel that this is all happening at the same time. This all helps to add realism to the show as it feels real as there is continuity so it all feels smooth and like it is happening in real life. All the camera shots have been shot with a handheld camera as you can tell that there is a slight wobble on the shots but it helps to make it seem as if you were there and you were breathing.
