L/O:
to analyse
the narratives and characters constructed in an opening episode
I would expect a new tv drama series to have in it first episode is;
introduction of all the characters
a back-story on what is happening/why
what time period is it set
where it is set and why
what the episode/whole drama is about
Main Characters (so far):
Main Characters (so far):
- PC Ryan Draper
- PC Jake Vickers
- DS Jo Moffat.
- Chief Super Robert Vickers.
- DC Carl Hawkins.
- DI Felix Kane.
- PC Donna Prager.
- PC Lino Moretti.
- What has happened so far;
- jake joins the police force with the chief super rovers as his dad and Ryan is his tutor for 10 weeks. ryan is really strict with jake the whole way through the episode but at the end his was ok with him,altogether they caught around 3 or 4 people and on his last call of the day ryan got hit with a pole and jake helped him which in my opinion gave ryan gave jake a bit more responsibility and gained ryans trust. on his second call out i think jake gave the wrong directions and jeprodised the whole mission and really annoyed ryan. so i think jake will have to gain ryans trust through-out the episodes.
PC Ryan Draper (Ashley Walters)
He is the main character of the show, he is represented as the typical police officer. His job is difficult due to government cuts which is what people were protesting about in the UK in 2015. He is seen as a mentor also, which many of the public would have seen officers at the time due to attacks around Europe.
PC Jake Vickers (Jacob Ifan)
He is represented as the weakest officer, he is new to the job and doesn't know what to do. He is the chiefs son, which soon becomes annoying and his mentor, PC Ryan Draper analyses his every move.
DS Jo Moffat (Amenda Abbington)
She is a talented detective, and diligent and organised. However her personal life isn't so good. She is a single woman and divorced. She represents a lot of struggle which would have happened in the police force, like not having funds for certain cases and struggles with solving cases like not getting an interview
Chief Super Robert Vickers (Peter Sullivan)
Father of Jake, Robert is the head chief of the police force. He organises most things and presents cases to the media. He is a great representation of the struggles of the police force and budget cuts which happened in 2015, he has to present mistakes to the media which could have been solved via better communication or a higher budget.
DC Carl Hawkins (Shaun Dooley)
Carl is a detective constable on the police force, he beliegs everything will eventually turn out okay.
DI Felix Kane (Paul Ready)
Felix is detective inspector on the police force, he has always been a loner however is diligent and organised on the job.
PC Donna Prager (Eleanor Matsoura)
Donna is another one of the leading officers, she is haed working and always up for the job. Her and Lino are best mates and always up for the job.
PC Lino Moretti (Alex Carter)
Lino is again one of the other leading officers in the job, he isn't the most hard working or up to scale on fitness but him and Donna are a good duo in fighting the crime.
CUFFS REVISION:
set:
brighton
tells us its a police drama through walkie talkie
juxtaposition: expectation vs reality (no respect from the offenders or victims)
key characters introduced in the very start
multiple narrative, mini narrative/bigger narrative
body language is prone/ very obvious
technology better than avengers, camerawork drop ect
LGBTQ is accepted compared to no homosexuality in avengers, would of got bad views
shows the effect of drugs, mental heat, self harming ect
shows the difference between work placements/ what people wear
music changes to show danger and tension or sinister
pre watershed is why they can't show the stabbing, blood (violence)
women in position of authority, have different genders races of different classes.
stereotype of a kiddie fiddler but actually a dad
different music shows the mood/feeling
policing reality is shown that they can't stay with patients too long as its a busy job not enough people on the police force
compares racial terms/family
music changes to fast paced camerawork is sped up to make things seem fast
gender equality is seen to be more in the women favour as she is presented better than the male
police harassent from the bitches spitting in jakes face
stereotypes shown through mother and offspring: mother is a lawyer and 5he daughter is a hippie, deadlocks (just doesn't present like a high class person)
complete narrative change to asking a dippy man on another date as they haven't been in a while... cheating scums
race is shown as a brown muslim working with a white ethnicity women
slo mo to show danger and panic
negative views on council house/people, bikes outside, daytime partying
slo mo used again to show panic and to lower the violence shown in this scene
lower the sound to make the scene more intense
camera work: used to establish who's in the team/ jakes now accepted
end uses a trick to start another storyline
