Analysing Cuffs opening scene

Camera work / miss en scene

Opening shot is fast drone tracking shot in Brighton is a fun place to live because its fun and fast moving. After this theres a low angle close up connotes in modern britain has equal rights. Steady cam footage the fact the camera moves slightly creates tension making you feel edgy. life in modern britain can be rough.  Over shoulder shot we are supposed to get an over view of the sight. Pan crowd shot of police shows police are inclusive in modern britain. High shot of the lad culture is taken high because they look down on this behaviour. Medium showing someone filming the police getting involved and this shows that you can't do anything without someone filming it. There are problems with violence.  Low camera shot shows patriarcle hierarchy of chief of police. Low angle of the man punching the policeman reinforces the idea that people don't respect the law.


Sound
Diegetic ambient sound of seagulls suggest britain has a leisure society and people have time to go to the seaside. Non diegetic music tense and quirky social tentions in britain. Diegetic police radio connotes in britain we have a problem with crime. We know the police man is the hero and alpha male because he speaks cleary with a low voice and this shows masculinity.  Diegetic dialogue chief of police 'they will have positive interactive with the public' juxtoposion is used here because they don't have positive interaction with public. 'While enduring respect to the public they serve'. 'Seriously what is the point in you' shows there aren't enough police to deal with the crimes going on. 

Editing 
Continuity- seeing the same view from different angles. Sound bridge makes it flow. Voice over- being used as a sound bridge that links the two scenes.  Parallele editing goes through the scene. connotations- absolute lack of respect for the police in britain.

    Be careful, although you're using great terminology, you tend to list the techniques used rather than focus on what they show

Cuffs episode 1

Image
For this reason he’s been charged with mentoring the new rookie cop, Jake, who just happens to be the Chief Super’s son. But uncompromising Ryan doesn’t care who Jake’s Dad is, he has high expectations and expects Jake to meet them. A devoted single dad to his two children, Ryan has equally high standards at home but his controlling and over-bearing nature threatens to drive away those he loves most. But working in the same division as his Chief Super Dad, Jake soon realises that being the boss’ son isn’t a bed of roses – in fact it’s full of thorns – as his new Tutor Constable Ryan is quick to point out his every fault. Self-assured, if a little naïve, Jake is determined to earn his place on the team but fails to realise that a romance with provocative defence solicitor Simon, could undo all of his hard work. Diligent and organised, she always does everything by the book and gets results. But whilst her career is going from strength to strength, her persona...

analysing horror poster

Image
This image of this poster makes you want to watch the movie because this little girls eyes are a lot lighter than what they usually should be. This will make you feel consernd and worried about what has happened.  This film would be terrifying to watch because maybe it would have something to do with possession and she doesn't look very cheerful either.  They have used colours such as black, brown and white for this image because these colours make some people think of death so maybe there is some kind of murder or death in this film.  As you can see its not only the little girls eyes that are white, her face is also pale and her lips are like a brown / grey colour. There is no background in this photo as you can only see her face but i think this film would be really good to watch and it would be really horrifying.
