In the beginning, the first scene of the Superintendent has him standing on a little pedestal, apart from what I assume are people higher in the force. The clothes are very formal, clean and sharp, with white gloves that you wouldn't necessarily wear anywhere else.
Jake and Ryan later visit a drug addict's home where Jake needs to bandage the drug addict's arms because there wasn't an ambulance there yet. During this scene we get a pan of the room, beer bottles and dirty clothes litter the floor and shelves, the man himself had spots and blemishes around his face, possibly referring to the fact that he is a drug user and it's a sign of drug addiction.
Even further through the episode, we see a young Indian man wearing a nice clean, ironed shirt and a nice blue jacket talking joyfully to his mum. He enters the shop and as he is smiling to himself, looking at a product he would use, 'everyone's favourite racist' see's him and enters the shop. He's wearing a button-down polo shirt with his cronies in similar fashion. One wears a large necked top with a chain and grey hoodie and the others wearing things similar if not the same but in different colours to the first man.

ReplyDelete1. Whilst you sensibly draw attention to the white gloves and pedestal. you do not explain where they are, nor why!
2. Better level of detail in Nathan's house. The effect is to make the audience sympathise with the tough jobs that the police do and to make us admire Ryan's sensitivity.
3. Be careful of using expressions like''everyone's favourite racist'. Aim to offer your view of the effect of this scene: the contrast between the two groups elicits a huge wave of sympathy for the boy and disgust for the thugs.
