Homework - Sherlock Holmes Mis-En-Scene

From the very start of the clip you see that there is a gun being pointed at someone which brings tension straight away. You see that Sherlock is holding the gun but If you didn't know who Sherlock was you could mistake him for the bad guy as he is the one with the gun and Moriarty is standing there defenceless. Both men are wearing suits which sows the position of power that they are in, both being quite high as suits are expensive and usually worn by powerful people. By the look on Moriarty's face you can see he is not really that bothered that Sherlock is pointing at gun at him which tells you he is either sure that Sherlock wont shoot or not afraid of death.

After Moriarty leaves you can see that Dr Watson is wearing a heavy coat which Sherlock proceeds to rip off and throw away and you can see bombs inside. Dr Watson is wearing just a casual outfit which portrays that he is not as powerful as Sherlock which is reinforced as Dr Watson sits down showing the status through levels of height. From just the visual evidence I think that maybe Moriarty took Dr Watson hostage and Sherlock came to save him. You then start to see more of the scenery and you see that they are near a swimming pool at night time.

When Moriarty enters the scene again Sherlock puts both hands on the gun and grips it tightly which show he may feel threatened by Moriarty or that he thinks he is a dangerous man. Red lasers appear on both Dr Watson and Sherlock which without anything else telling us, lets us know that there are multiple guns pointed at them.
