Filming styles
Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 5:18 pm
Watching a Tara King episode recently, which happened to be Killer, it seemed to me the filming was really interestingly done. Of course the use of bright colours (as in the Emma Peel colour series) feels like the directors were having a lot of fun shooting Colour TV really colourfully. But many of the scenes in the Tara King episodes seem to me to also have a particular three dimensional look. I really like this way they are shot. In Killer I noticed things close to the camera like a tree trunk, or scaffolding, which give the setting more context than just a straight shot of the action. The more I became aware of it during Killer the better it seemed to get.
What I'm wondering is whether you also think that this last series of the Avengers often has a particularly 3D quality?
I notice that in addition to many different directors, the camera operators are also different in the Tara King series. Perhaps their influence on the filming hasn't been considered very much. They were certainly very good! I got this information from Avengers forever :
