PREP Analyse how camerawork is used in the extract to create meaning. Refer to at least two examples from the extract in your answer.
Worth 5 marks: write half a side of A4

There is a focus pull at the moment when Ryan says "we don't care what peoples parents do" and then it the camera pulls into Jake's face because of the fact that his Dad his head Chief.  When it pulls into Jake's face you see him grinning seeing his reaction to what was just said. There are also reaction shots from the other police officers who are laughing around him understanding the joke. Once the others laugh at the statement Jake then looks embarrassed and a bit upset.

There is a point of view shot when Jo is talking to Chief Super Robert about going out for 'a bight to eat' showing the audience they had been seeing each other before. She then looks at a picture in his office of his family and asks about his wife. This shows the awkward tension in the room and what there was in the past.

There is a slow zoom into a close up once Jo leaves the office and shuts the door when she shuts the door the camera zooms into her face while she leans on the door closing her eyes showing how upset she is, by this camera work we see exactly how she feels and see how embarrassed she is. It shows all the different emotions that are going on in that moment.

Crane shot shows the effect of where everyone is in this scene and shows how close they are to eachother and builds up the tension. Making us feel as if we are there witnessing it.

    Nearly perfect but aim to improve on the EAA, such as, emphasizing that Ryan resents Jake's easy rise to his position an believes that the reason is favouritism, so he is scoring personal points.
    Again, in the second example, you haven't really explained Jo's awkwardness: the Superintendent rejects her offer and the shot/reverse shot showing his family group gives the audience the reason for his pulling out of their affair.
    Example 4 too sketchy: I am not sure which scene this is.
