Q2 Cuffs

Analyse how far the extract to depict the police point of view rather than the criminal's point of view.

The use of work not just in editing but in camera work to has been cleverly designed to give us the point of view of the police instead of the criminals. An example of this is, is when the criminals costumes suggest the stereotypical criminal such as a mask covering their face and rough clothes and hide any characterisation from the audience, however, the police officers have more individuality, e.g the close up shows the facial reactions of PC Jake Vickers who does not get his lunch and when the camera focuses on a police officers facial expression when she is told by the criminal not say another word.

The main storyline revolves around the police characters instead of the criminals, we are shown what it is like in the police car on the way to catch the criminals and the police crew eating their lunch. This makes it clear to the audience in Ep. 1 that this story is based on the story of the police crew.


Before the criminals strike, the music and the relative mood in that area is calm, then when the criminals arrive and start to raid the area this changes to a more faster-paced song which is more rough to the ears as is the visual of the poor store owner.

Q8

Analyse the use of media language to create meaning.

The dark outlined banner at the top suggests to the reader that this is where you go to fit your type of story such as 'sport' or 'politics'. The pink selected stories highlight that they are different to ordinary stories. The purple shows the reader which stories are important and popular, it also shows some serious stories, such as 'can i forgive the man that raped me?'

The overall layout of the website is very clean and oragnised. The news stories are organised into catagories such as sport, politics, culture etc. With this clean layout this makes it easier for viewers including the ederlly so if the wanted to move to a digital interface it would make it more simple for them.

Q1 Cuffs

Analyse how sound is used in the extract to make meaning.

the crusing of the window when the JCB came in. This sound effect creates meaning and makes it more realistic, such as the tiny fragments of glass falling to the floor. The shatter of glass algon with rock rought music to represent the rock time ahead or the locals.


The police siren in the background indicates that there is a crime and it is there job to help. This sound represents fear, this is clear to the audiance as this sound is normally played in a time of danger and need.

The calming music in the coffe shop while they have their lunch represents a calm enviroment, then later as they get a call of distress the music chages to a fast paced song with multiple beats per minute.
