Welcome New things, and especially new places, are attractive. Like magpies we are attracted to the shiny but sometimes to the detriment of what we have always known. So it has been with our relentless search for the best drama productions. But like the characters in the Pina Colada song we have gone full circle this month and searched closer to home with two shoot stories from ITV, Vera and Marcella Season 2. Vera especially caught our eye, with DOP Ed Moore bringing his full toy box to the episode called ‘Darkwater’. He, his director and editor strove to bring the relationship between the look and the narrative closer than ever with unusual framing, clever drone shot selection, smart use of shallow focusing, multiple shots of certain scenes and a minimal lighting design. Unfortunately for a group of ex-BBC camera people all this progressive shooting technique was too much and they waged a turgid campaign against Ed, calling for his return to film school. We thought that Ed had pushed the art of cinematography on and that’s to be celebrated when there is so much great-looking content vying for your attention.
