Edge Of Darkness- Single Camera

In the opening episode, the story followed policeman Ronald Craven. After refusing to take part in a police matter, he visits his daughter to hear her give a speech. When the two return home, a man with a gun threatens Ronald, but ends up killing his daughter instead. The rest of the episode follows the father mourning for his daughter, going through her room and uncovering things from her childhood, and items, such as a gun, which imply she was doing things he was never aware of.

The opening scene has Ronald talking to two men in a large meeting hall. there is an argument over whether they should investigate an issue surrounding fixed election votes.

It is clear it has used Single camera techniques as many of the shots are showing the full environment, rather than giving close ups on the characters speaking, likely because this is an easier way to film a scene with less equipment. It also has shots that are very long, such as the conversation in the car as it is filmed from one source and there are no cuts.
