Many shots were used as close-ups and extreme close-ups on different parts of a man's body. The shots also include Sherlock damaging these parts of the body. This shows that they are of significance and are important to the narrative. Another shot used was of Sherlock and Watson standing on a balcony over where the crime was taking place. The shot was a low angle combined with a canted angle, to emphasise the disturbance and the the confidence that both Sherlock and Watson had as they both shook hands in a humorous manner.
Sound
The non-diegetic soundtrack used was of a fast paced drum beat that could resemble the sound of time running out. This makes the chase also fast paced and full of tension and anxiety.
During the multiple shots of different parts of a man's body, a diegetic voiceover was used to represent Sherlock's mind as it gave intelligent analysis and information, showing his intellect which could also lead to who he is; his personality.
Editing
Each shot of a man's body was slowed down and fast forwarded at certain times, maybe to create an unexpected use of a conventional action fight, slowing down the shots during the attack and speeding it up at the point of impact. Also, many shots that were used in the fighting scene were very short, maybe to make it fast paced, and to make it so that 'quality than quantity'.
Mise en Scene
The costumes that Sherlock and Watson wear are of high-class garments that would have been worn during the 1900's, which the original 'Sherlock Holmes' story was set. Also, the enemies that work with the dark arts, wear dark cloaks that hide their faces to show a menacing personality, and maybe also to show who the opposing side is to Sherlock.
