Media Studies: Test


Using the text we watched last lesson, consider the effect of editing on the impression the audience is given of policing.


You should write about:


Cut
From police to toilets
lots of focus on the female
Lots of focus on the new DI
Lots of focus on the older man
lots of cuts with the police officer and the victim

Continuity
when the woman was found
when there was the riot
Whern they are examining the body

Cross cutting
From the ball to the streets


Eye-line match
When the wro were with the dead body


Jump-cut
between the foot soldiers and the posh rozzers


Sequence shot
where we were following posh man to the ball
where he was given the job

Shot-reverse
Conversation at the ball and lots of other conversations


Dolly shot
in the meeting with the posh rozzers- through the window


Pan
