Sherlock Holmes Dramatization Review




      Sherlock Holmes the movie is shot in many different places in London. In this particular set, it is interior. The set is realistic and lifelike, it is styled like a late 1800's Britain room. Since the set is mostly shot in London it definitely makes the audience feel more in depth with the characters and story.
   
       The apparent income level of the owners I would have to say is fairly good, they seem to have a good bit of money to spend on the set. In this specific scene it was a decently sized room. It was filled with things but if it was all removed it's be a bigger room. It's furnished very well, lots of book shelves, some chairs, tables, papers, a fireplace. It is sort of cluttered considering this is Sherlock's work room.

       The overall image this set projects is an old style back in the 1800's. I think they did a great job putting together the set.




       Sherlock's costume falls into the late 1800's. It was a pretty accurate reconstruction. The apparent income level of Sherlock is probably middle-class. He isn't very porr but he isn't rich either. His costume could emphasize his virility, but it doesn't show that he has much power. I would the costume is appropriate to the character's age.

       His costume in this scene is sort of loose and baggy as a symbol of his crazy and strange side who doesn't have much hygiene. The material coarse is sturdy and plain. The costume has overalls which most men wore back then. His shoes are just plain old fashioned shoes for men in the late 1800's.

      There isn't much to the colors in this scene. If I had to decide it would probably have warmer colors and it's bright with solid colors. Not much of his body is exposed in this scene. For Sherlock, it is just for utilitarian purposes. Sherlock has never really cared about his appearance. Sherlock although a slob stands proud and tall with his type of confident attitude.

      The overall impression that the costume creates is a plain and maybe boring look. He is just wearing a usual outfit most men would wear back then.

    Can you include some details of the set and costume DESIGNERS? That will give your opinion more credibility.
