Mock DIRT

1. The use of the Background sound e.g the chatter of other diners and diegetic music in the background of the scene in the dining room  connotes to calm, relaxing normality of the situation. The use of incidental music in the extract e.g the rhythmic non-diegetic music during the robbery and car chase carrying connotations such as danger, excitement and urgency. The use of sound effects e.g the sound effect of the vehicle smashing the glass in the shop window connoting the violence of the action, the sound effect of the police siren during the car chase connoting the urgency of the chase. The use of off screen speech e.g the compressed sound of the PCSOs call for assistance creates contrasting connotations of emergency to those of the canteen scene

2. with the police your always at medium- close up angles which makes you feel a lot more comfortable with them in contrast to the criminals who you only got a long distant shot and you never see there face, giving them a sense of mystery and unawareness.

The editing allows the shots of the police officers to predominate e.g shots of the criminals are followed by shots of the police reacting to them. The music in the location where the criminals first appear is sinister and suggests villainy is afoot. The criminals costumes suggest the stereotypical criminal and hide any characterisation from the audience. The police officers have more individualality e.g the close up shows the facial reactions of the young officer who does not get his lunch. 

A narrative is constructed in which the relaxation of the sympathetic characters is disrupted by characters the audience does not know, e.g the cross-cutting between the robbery and the canteen. The narrative mostly follows the world of the police, not the criminals, who are only seen in the extract in the presence of the police e.g we do not see the criminals eating their lunch. There are some shots of the criminals not seen from the police perspective e.g of the criminals in the pick-up truck, or the cctv footage.
