At the start of cuffs their is an Arial shot above Brighton out at sea, the camera then sweeps across down to the land as it goes past the pier. This showed us the vast amount of land the police have to cover and what they are working with in Brighton. It reveals the area and what part of Brighton we will be seeing the most. after this shot we hear a voice over which then takes us to the scene where it is coming from. The camera gives us a low angle shot of the head of police to show that he has importance.
Later in the episode we get a close up shot of the younger inexperienced policeman when he is at the time to make a decision on whether to help his partner from an attack. By doing a close up shot it makes us feel for whatever the character is experiencing and feeling for them the most, this also happens if the character gets a lot of screen time. With different camera angles we experience more emotion and see more action than we would if the camera angle was a straight shot every time, this immerses the watcher into the episode, capturing them in their own world.

ReplyDelete1. Good analysis of bird's eye view shot of Brighton. Add that it is instantly recognizable. Brighton is a challenging police territory as it is not just huge but also such a diverse mix: a university town, a seaside day tripper's town, a draw for foreign tourists, a shopper's paradise and so on.

3. Name Jake. Identify 'whatever the character is experiencing and feeling'!
4. last sentence too vague to earn marks.
