- The voiceover at beginning
- The accident on the beach, who do we sympathize.
- Experience of training
At the beginning of the show, we can hear a voiceover at the start. This voiceover is from a police officer who is saying that "it takes courage and conviction to become a police officer." This line is depicting the police's point of view as they are talking about the police officers and how heroic they are and how they need to be strong and courageous to do the job they are doing.
On the beach, there are a group of people from a stag and two people from the public. As the public call the police officer over, he can tell that the people from the stag are drunk. The members of public are trying to get them off the beach and the police officer ends up getting punched in the nose by someone from the stag. When this happens, we feel sympathy for the police officer as this shows us how hard and difficult their job can be at times.
Overall, I feel that we see much more of the police's point of view, rather than the criminal's. When we see the police's point of view it shows us what situations the police have to go through and how hard their job is.

ReplyDelete1. Treat the opening scene as a combination of the beach scene and cross cuts to the passing out ceremony. Explain the irony / black comedy created by the way that The Superintendent's lofty view of how the public see the police contrasts sharply with the way that they are disrespected on the ground. What in particular makes you sympathise with Ryan in the scene?
2. Can you give more than one example for a 10 mark question?
