CBS Drama

Idents from the 2013-2018 package on CBS Drama consisted of 2 main scenes, filmed as a stopped moment in time as the camera pans around them. This one features both an argument and a dancing scene in a hairdressers, with shocked onlookers. Each of the idents had several shorter edits of them available to make the whole set appear larger, a trick commonly employed by Channel 4.
