the use of background sound,for example the chatter of other diners and digetic  music in the background of the scene in the dining room connotes the calm, relaxing and normality of the storm 0

question 2

CAMERA WORK also depicts the police’s POV as the police are shown mostly in close-up, extreme close ups and medium close ups – often shot at low angle – this shows the action from their POV as you see their emotion/see them as people and, because of the low camera angles, you naturally view them as having a higher status. BY CONTRAST the criminals are shown mostly in long shots, medium long – often from a high angle and sometimes as CCTV footage connoting that they are the social problem for the police to solve rather than the characters you should see the point of view of.

SOUND: the sound depicts the narrative from the POV of the police because the majority of diegetic dialogue that progresses the narrative is given to the police, making them seem human and likeable with lines like,”________” and “______” showing the stress of their job and their personality. By contrast, the criminals just have threatening diegetic dialogue like, “________.” Furthermore, non-diegetic music is used differently for the police and criminals – for the police it is upbeat and exciting connoting they are the heroes while for the criminals it is foreboding and tense connoting they are the stereotypical villains (Propps).
