Chicago PD, BladeRunner 2049, Nobody Chicago PD analysis: -Mostly POV footage such as bodycamera shots. -Montage scenes, music, contrapuntal audio is used also. Non diegetic and diegetic. BladeRunner 2049 analysis: -Heavy crane shots/drone shots to show the surrounding area -Liminal vibe theme to all the shots, slow pace, slow music Nobody analysis: -Very dark outdoor setting vibe. POV camera shots. Fight scenes. Lack of music but instead a focus on the use of punches. 2) Write a  script  for your TV drama scene.

  1) Type up your feedback   in full   including the ratings out of five for each of the categories.
