Narrative

The narrative is about a London detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner Dr John Watson. When they have to go after Lord Blackwood, a person who is trying to portray himself as a powerful magician, it is up to Sherlock Holmes to prove that Blackwood is nothing more than a man, who uses science and wit to commit his crimes.

The Opening

The opening of the movie starts with a horse drawn carriage going past, the setting is at night. The camera is following the carriage; the camera catches up with the carriage and the next frame take place inside. We see Watson and a police officer; they are both arming themselves with guns and making sure they are loaded.
