Broadchurch is a British TV crime drama which is usually broadcasted on ITV. The first series focused around the death of an 11 year old boy and it shared the grief, mutual suspicion and the media attention based in the town.
The original concept of the show was to explore how a child's murder affects a small, close-knit local community and how the characters react to the media attention they are given, and also the mutual suspicion that arises.
The drama has 3 seasons, 2013 - 2016.
The series was written and created by Chris Chibnall, who previously worked on Doctor Who and Torchwood.
The director of the pilot was James Strong who has also directed Gracepoint, Torchwood and Doctor Who.
Some of the most regular directors are James Strong with 7 episodes, 2013-2015 and Euros Lyn with 3 episodes, 2013 (Sherlock, Doctor Who and Jane Hall).
Due to the series being set near the beach and some scenes are at the beach, the series has got a good sound design. This comes from the birds flying up above and the sounds of the water crashing against the sand. While this is going on some sort of instrumental music is being played in the background as the actors and actresses are saying their lines.

I like this series, and I think some of the ways they have chosen to edit the sequences are very well done and it clearly shows the crime genre of the series. This is something I want to use within my drama due to the crime theme involved in PLL. I also want to experiment with my sound design by finding a nice instrumental track that isn't too overpowering to use quietly under my dialogue. I feel this will boost the tension of the scene slightly and will add to the negative tone.
