"Style in The Wire": a video-essay by Erland Lavik

Style in The Wire from Erlend Lavik on Vimeo.

Excellent video-essay on style in contemporary television, and especially in The Wire by Norwegian media scholar Erland Lavik. He addresses a wide range of issues ranging from format to use of music and sound, camera movement, and other visual elements. If you love this show as much as I do (I bought the series on DVD), you'll find your enjoyment enhanced by Lavik's observations.
