There is a variety of camera angles in Cuffs. One of the
first ones we see is an aerial shot of Brighton. This is a pan shot and I think
it’s a good shot because it shows us a lot of the city and we get to see the
surroundings of the beach and how busy or empty it is.
Another shot we see later on into the programme, is a shot of
Jake peeking into Nathan’s house through the post box and we get to see the
emotions he was using for his first time doing this. Using the camera angles,
we can tell that this is a wide shot. We can also see that Nathan was a bit
scared as he was holding a knife towards the door and the camera was slightly
shaking and moving about. This shows he was scared and he did not want to see
anyone at that current moment.

. Cut opening
sentence which is general. Only ever be specific.
2. Aerial shot
(bird’s eye view shot) sets the scene as an establishing shot to indicate
location of programme. Also serves to demonstrate how big and bustling the city
of Brighton is and its coastal location.
3. The CU (
close-up) of Jake’s eyes through the letter box is a very restricted frame.
What emotions can you discern? It’s quite hard from such a small frame. A
difficult example to pick.
4. Handheld? ‘the
camera was slightly shaking’

2 and a half out of 5
