The opening scene opens with a fast pace movement of a drone in Brighton - the fact it's set in Brighton shows equality and the LGBTQ liberal. The drone shot is continuous which connotes to Brighton being a fast and fun city. The diegetic ambinious sounds of seagulls represents a leisure society and how britain has the money and time to go to the sea. The edgy and tense music links to the crime genre and also the social tension taking place in Britain. The music acts as a sound bridge which makes the scenes flow also, the non diegetic voice over also allows the scenes to flow. The low angle close up of the police officer connotes to equal rights, and it demonstrates modern britain as having better equality.
The diegetic sound of the police radio connotes to the problem with crime, the slow mo of the police shows the area of crime with the graffiti on the sign. The steady camera footage creates tension as it moves around which could suggest Brighton is rough? The over shoulder shot allows the audience to see the police mans POV, although modern Britain now has more liberal attitudes. The first dialogue is a low voice which alludes to the idea of him being an alpha male but also a hero who deserves respect. The extract contain parallel editing which changes from the police graduation and also the lack of respect police receive. As the diegetic dialogue of the chief is shows he says "positive interaction with public" and "earning respect for the public" although we know this is false. The parallel editing juxtaposes with the fight scene as we know a citizen states "what is the point in you" which shows the lack of respect but also the fact there aren't enough police to help out. The low camera angle shown before the fight scene shows we should be looking down on these people.
The medium shot shown with the man in the background holding the phone shows the increasing rate of technology. This means police don't receive any privacy and it also paints police in a bad light. The low angle shot close up of the police man reinforces the patriarchal society which is dominated by straight, white males which reinforces how people don't respect the police.
Wow! So much in here! Although you're using media language and terminology well, you're skimming over the detail needed. Try to focus on one point that the extract makes about Modern Britain and then explain the different techniques used to portray this. Then move on to the next point. You tend to end up listing techniques used otherwise.
