Walkaway Lunch
The moment that lunch is called everyone walks away. The stage, which had just been swarming with activity, suddenly goes quiet.
Exposition Alfresco
When Dick Wolf said that New York City was an important character in L&O this is what he meant.
The Last Scene
Here you see the shooting of the last scene of the last script of the last season of Law & Order.
The Close-up Insert shot
Inevitably saved until last, these easy little shots can be surprisingly tricky to get right.
Who Killed Law & Order?
There have been over 450 Law & Order scripts produced in twenty years, but the last one offers no dramatic resolution or acknowledgment that the end has come. Like a life snuffed out without warning by a ghastly crime, there seems to be many questions but few answers. It makes me want to write a spoof episode entitled “Who Killed Law & Order” that investigates this tragic “show-icide”. I have dashed off one short scene – it would be about scene 7 or 9, the first interrogation room scene, following the first lead in the case, and occurring about half way in the first act.
