Q2 CUFFS

The extract depicts the polices view a lot because it is trying to take the polices view and show us what they are dealing with. This is very noticeable in the police chase scene. The people watching the show do not see the pickup truck in the chase much but there are many shots of the policemen in the car chasing them looking onto the truck in front. This is a good example because it shows the officers point of view which is what the producers are aiming to show you. The police take up 90% of screen time because the show is based on the polices point of view and there experience with the crimes. This usually makes the viewers take side of the officers as they are the main focus of the show.

There are many shots in the extract that make the watcher feel as if they are in the show such as over the shoulder shots and close ups. This is because when there is an over the shoulder shot it lets the watcher see what the character is seeing. Also close up shots show the emotions of the characters such as if they are panting because they have been running or wide eyed because they are shocked. This can make the watcher feel the emotions of the characters.

Overall these aspects are the main ones that depict the polices point of view. These aspects I have analysed make the watcher feel the emotions of the officers or even as if they were in their position. This really draws the audience’s attention as these things immerse them into the show.
