How Audiences Consume and Interpret Long Form Television Dramas
Frank Underwood and Claire represent the anti-hero their characters are complex, what makes us want to watch/empathise with these characters?1. Revenge
2. Frank's monologue - how he narrates the story and we know her story
3. We know that they have had things taken away from them
How is camera work used to create a sense of realism?
Realism is created through the use of natural light along with the use of light-sensitive cameras to help create the look that the lighting is more dim and effective. The directors wanted to have less light so that the cameras could move around more freely and not pick up on extreme details - make it look more professional in the sense that they were in the Whitehouse and make it look more natural. When they have the actor check his phone for the message he has just received, the candlelight has helped show the blue light from the phone lighting up.

- Liars and Dishonest -- Linda ( promising Frank a place in the parliament but turns him down last minute)
