How does the camera work make meaning in Cuffs?
The camera plays an important role in modern day media such as when a bad guy pops up traditionally it would look from the floor and maybe lighting and a wicked "ahahahahah" however i am just stereotyping this.
Examples of this being used in Cuffs is when PC Draper is trying to handle the stag do and the nudists, the camera is very shaking and very rough representing how rough these people our. It also gives the viewer the chance to feel more involved with the conflict as the camera starts to shake. Another thing to mention is that while PC Draper is dealing with them and the camera is a lot more unstable it pans back to the constable where the quality, focus and stability is perfect then back to PC Draper where this is the opposite and violent.

THE AVENGERS - QUESTION 5
Avengers: explain how social contexts influence television programmes.
The social contexts influence television quite significantly today. In the avengers it is obvious to the viewers that this is not set in present day it is set in the 60s with indications of the war which was not that long ago. We notice this by the way the characters speak such as when John Steed enters the pub Piggy Warren starts the conversation with 'Ah!, hello ol' boy' and 'oh the little poppsy' this indicates that we are still in a time with old fashioned language.
Another thing that was noticeable was references of the war as in the pub there are a number of WW2 planes hanging and the fact that Piggy Warren had a gun represents that they have not got rid of there items of defence from the war. It is also to be noted that it is illegal to carry a gun in the United Kingdom so they are also effectively breaking the law.
It is also noticeable to the viewer that they are quite the wealthy kind, as on the train they had a considerable amount of leg room, comfy seats etc. During their train journey John Steed offers Emma Peel afternoon tea "sugar or lemon". Also comedy added in there with fitting large items into small hand luggage.

HOW DOES THE EXTRACT DEPICT THE POLICE'S POINT OF VIEW - CUFFS
The way the police are presented on the opening scene on the beach is quite complicated and handled with irony because Chief Supers voice over was at odds with what PC Ryan Draper experiences on the beach. It is ironic because the chief Super asserts that a police man must remain 'calm and assertive in the face of provocation, always striving for conflict resolution ensuring cohesion and security'. However, PC Draper is insulted on the beach by the nudists that he tries to protect and punched on the nose by the young men in the stag do. The audience definitely feel that has done his professional best because he does not loose his temper and tries to be fair to both sides. Therefore the audience is likely to feel sympathetic towards him particularity at the end, even if our sympathies were with nudists with the begging however the mood swings against the nudists who through themselves into the affray and in some ways just as guilty as the stag do who have been taunting them certainly the characters who came out worst are the stag do who are guilty of criminal assault when they hit PC Draper.

How is sound used to create meaning?
Well there are many examples of sound being used to create a sense of meaning, such as at the start where he is called into action the music acts with the scenes. The music being playing in the background is very upbeat and gets the rate of the show going however if it was classical music you would have very mixed feelings of what is happening. Music is very important when it comes to media as it makes up most of the feeling.
An example of this is also when they are both called to a house where they discover a poor guy in a real mess (tried to commit suicied) when jake says "OPEN THIS DOOR!" it is very forceful however when the other officer tries the music changes and he approaches with, "you ok? Why dont you drop the knife and open the door" a very soft voice combining with the soft music combined perfectly.
