Editing in White Chapel

Consider the effect of editing on the impression the audience is given of policy

Cut

·         We see lots of reactions

·         Straight cuts

·         Lots of focus on female community officer

·         Lots of focus on new DI

·         Lots of focus on fox-man

SET UP -  PCSO, FOX MAN AND POSH MAN AS KEY – WE POSSIBLY IDENTIFY MORE THE FOX MAN AS HE IS THE HARD WORKING GUY – HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT – HE LOOKS MORE IN CHARGE AND CONTROLLED

Continuity

·         when the woman was found

·         when there was the riot

·         when they are examining the body

HURRIED, CHAOTIC, SHOWING THE MANY DIFFERENT SIDES TO A POLICE OFFICER DAY – SHOWS DETERMINATION

Cross cutting

·         the violence on the street and the men in the gentlemen’s lounge

CONTRASTS BETWEEN THE RANKS – DOES NOT PRESENT THE UPPER ECHELONS AS HARDWORKING – VERY MALE DOMINATED

Eye line match

·         When police are assessing dead body

Jump cut

·         Between the foot soldiers and the posh rozzers

Sequence shot

·         Where we were following posh man into the ball

·         Where he was given the promotion

Shot reverse

·         For many different conversations with normal police and at the ball.

Dolly shot

·         In the meeting with the posh rozzers – through the window

Pan

EDITING TO SHOWS OBVIOUS DICOMFORT – WE IDENTIFY WITH THE OTHER OFFICERS

THE FOX MAN IS HUMAN

MIS EN SCENE

-The woman in the background is looking at old woman in a weird way because she can afford the dress

-Blonde woman well presented with blazer  - nails painted red to show power, dominance danger, sex 

-Smoking and drinking whisky in the mens bar - private bar because smoking is not allowed in public places

-Matching colour bag and purse of rich woman

-Man fixing computer doesn't look like an average computer geek - looks dodgy - men are known to bend the rules

-The sales assistant follows man around who finds the ring  - shows empowerment and dominance of the guy who finds ring

-Woman is more in charge at the end, almost ordering and asking questions 

- Woman sounds like she is getting pleasured when she looks at herself in the dress

Re-writing paragraph of essay

Mise-en-scene has been used well to represent gender. For example, the evil man is wearing a suit, which shows authority, power and an idea of dominance. However, the woman is wearing a black jacket and combat trousers. This shows that she is a worker, and has been working hard to spread the word about the doctor. This can be seen as being a little bit stereo-typical of women working hard, and men wanting to take over and dominate everything they are involved in. Also the security guards in the drama are all male, another example a stereo-typical man wanting to have order and being aggresive.

Teachers Analysis

Close up shots of Susan and Jenny when they are getting interviewed. This shows theor emotion and emphasises their facial expressions and shows what they are feeling.

Long shot - when Simon leaves the school and you can see the kids approaching from behind him. This allows you to see the more than just the main character, this adds to the sense of reality and this also help to expalain the plot.

Point of view shot - this is used when Susan and Jenny are being interviewed. You can see the reactions of the school board when Jenny or Susan are answering their questions. This shows you what the character in the scene is seeing and couild be used to build tension.

Three shot - when the three male teachers are sat in the pub and get distracted by a woman and stare at her rear end whilst Jenny is having a conversation with them. This gives the audience an idea that all men are the same and alll they  thimk about is sex and they are not interested in anything else. This a stereotypical view of men and how they act.

Dialogue - Simon seems uneasy when he is talking to his girlfriend at school because she is a police officer. This allows the audience to see the true personality of Simon. He seems like he always wants to be in control and being with a police officer may lower his authority in the street.


 

Mise en scene - Micro analysis

Simon smoking drugs with a student. the student is not wearing the correct uniform, but Simon's tie is also very loose and he looks unprofessional. 

Simon talk to Jenny in the corridor, while Simon is under the influence of drugs and seems a lot less nervous than their previous meetings.

Students run out of the lesson and barge and push each other in the corridor showing excitement and relief.

Susan is wearing a necklace, maybe trying to impress someone because she is trying to get the head of years job.

Coke cans, crisps, bottles on the teachers lunch table

Biscuit dropping into tea - not concentrating on what a teacher is doing

Weird women wearing baggy clothes - she's not attractive and is represented as being not very fashionable

Simon eating doughnuts – munchies after taking drug?

Ken – keeping face value – but he didnt want to go to the conference!

Headteacher  bigger than simon – higher position - this could represent the position and power of the headteacher and the comparison to Simon.

Jenny laughing in simons vision of being caught by the police. adding to their rivalry going on.

Simon having sex with Maggy - simon getting what he wants.

Wriggling feet after sex??? this could show him being a bit scared and anxious because Maggy is a police officer.

On different sides of the bed in the morning - could show simon being nervous about taking drugs again.

Susan holding pad and pen… simon arriving after her and holding nothing. This could represent women being more professional than men.

Narrative Sequence

TV mini series.

Starts off in the Pub - Susan breaks the new of applying for the head of years job. Simon tries to convince her not to.

Simon wakes up in the morning at a girls house - tries to have a lay in but gets late for school.

It cuts to Simon on his way to school on his bike.

Simon then meets Jenny in the school corridor, who says that she is also applying for the head of years job. This provides the twist in the program. It cuts to Simon dreaming of Jenny in some sort of sexual fantasy, where she is more dominant than him. He then gets out of the daze and goes to his classroom.

The scene then goes to the staff room where Simon is confronted by Jenny but is interrupted by another teacher.
