The first half of this week’s episode of CSI: New York<\/i>, “Unspoken”<\/a>, does not feature dialogue. Instead, Executive Producer Pam Veasey<\/b> used the music<\/a> of Green Day<\/b> to help tell the story.<\/p>\n

\nVeasey knew the sort of story she wanted to write, but she waited to hear the music before she penned the actual scenes from the episode. “I called [CBS TV Studios’ SVP of Music] Amy Osler<\/b> and told her that I wanted to only use music for the first half of an episode, but that I wanted only one band or solo artist who had an album coming out,” she told TV Line<\/i>. However, Veasey added, she didn’t want the lyrics of the song to explain the plot. “I believe that visuals tell one part of the story, and the music tells the other; they don\u2019t repeat each other.”<\/p>\n

\nWhen she listened to Green Day’s music from \u00a1Uno!<\/i>, \u00a1Dos!<\/i> and \u00a1Tre!<\/i>, everything “clicked” for Veasey. “But I didn’t listen to the lyrics and build a scene,” she said. “Rather, I used the mood of the music to tell me the tempo of the scene.”<\/p>\n

\nWriting scenes for a procedural drama without dialogue was “definitely more of a challenge” than Veasey anticipated, and she needed to make sure the audience could see and feel what was happening in order to follow the plot. “That’s really what the [start of the episode] is all about, trying to figure out what [everyone] is thinking\u2026 And then when I moved to [writing] the second act, it was about what they were feeling,” she explained. “If I could get the audience to feel something, then they would take the ride with us.”
