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

·         Lots of different cuts when female officer is with the soon to be dead woman

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

Dolly shot

EDITING ALLOWS THE AUDIENCE TO IDENTIFY WITH A KEY OFFICER

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.
