There are other elements which also tell us this is a 1970s crime drama. For example, the car-chases, autopsies, foot chases all happen in an urban backdrop which is conventional for a tv show like this.

The main focus of my narrative will revolve around letting go of something and moving on. I will show this narrative in the music video, by different aspects of Mise En Scene. One element of Mis...
