Criminal Justice- Age

Shot Types
The first shot type I identified was an other the shoulder shot of a women who is a police officer and the young boy who by his anxiouse and frightned face was the first time he had been inprinsoned. The way the producer had decided to represent age for the women who is a  police officer is by being a older age because she contained wrinkles with a very stern face with glasses. The producer also represented a older women who is a police officer with her hair tied up this could inidicate that she isnt a soft and stereotypical female who loves pink and is very girly. But a tough women this could be because of her job but also because thats they way they represented a older women who is police officer in this clip. The women also glares at the boy and says very manly 'what' this is because they have represented older women who are police officers in this clip as very emotionless and intimidating. This could be because of the enviroment they are in they need to behave this way.

In contrast to this the second other the shoulder shot is of a boy. This boys face looks very inocent, no wrinkles and very intimidated by whats around him. This is how the producer has decided to represent younger aged people in this clip using this boy as an example. His eyes are looking everywhere which shows uncomfort and anxiousness as he is scared of the olders around him. He replies with 'nothing' to the older aged women this is because the producer has planned this to show that they are representing the younger age to not back chat and get arguementative but be afraid to answer back.

The second shot type I have identified is a extreme medium shot of a taller but young male who is towering over th young boy. This is because the taller young male is pushing the boundaries and acting very initimadating and blowing in his face to annoy him. This is another way the producer is representing younger aged boys. As this young aged boy is being very agrivating. However then a older man steps in his appearence is containing wrinkles and has no hair. As soon as he steps in the taller young aged male moves away this shows that the representation of older aged men are that they contain more power and control other the younger age.

There is another extreme medium shot of the man who is sharing a cell with the young boy. This shot shows the man with wrinkles, bald, deep voice and aggressive face. This is how the producer has represented older age men's appearences. The older man has sat on the bed and takenis shoes of this conveys that he is more relaxed and fearless compared to the young boy in the extreme medium shot of him getting iritated by the taller young aged male. It also shows that the older age have been there longer and no there surroundings better this could mean that the producer has represented the older to have commited very bad crimes that have long sentences to them.

In contrast to this there is a extreme medium shot of the younger boy. He has a pale face,clear skin, hair and is skinny looking this is how the producer has represented younger aged male's. The appearence of being skinny is to show that they dont have any power or strentgh to them.

There is a shot reverse shot when the older age man is explaining the life at prison to the younger age male who is listening very carefully. The older an then leans very close to the younger boy and says to him to wack the tall young male who was iritaiting him. This could show that the producer is representing the older age to not be role modles and influence the younger to use bad behavouir.

The last shot type I have identified in the prison enviroment is a close up. This is at night when the young boy is in bed. There is loads of noises and because it is his first night which I have identified through the young boy getting confused earlier why a man has jumped on the bunk bed because he didnt know that he was sleeping in the room as well because he is new. The close up shot allows the audience to see his facial expressions very clearly. The producer has used this shot to show that the representation of younger aged boys are that they are very frightned. This is shows through the young boys face and uncomfort as he is rocking in his bed. Therefore he is overwelmed by the experience so far.

The last shot is a medium long shot of the police officer and man in a suit. They are walking towards a car. The police officer is a younger age then the man in the suit. This is represented by the older man in the suit having wrinkles and not as muscular. Whereas the younger male has hair and doesnt contain wrinkles. The man in the suit is being very demanding towards the police officer which could suggest he is his boss. Therefore the producer has represented the older age to have more power and a higher postion.

Sound
There is a asynchronous, diegetic sound of the prison buzzer going of when it goes of the in the cell as a reminder for them all to get in there rooms. The young boy jumps where as the older man knows as he is used to it. This is more evidence that the producer is representing the older aged men to have been in jail for longer then younger aged males's

The second sound I identified is the door slamming which is the prison officers slamming it. This is a asynchronous, diegetic sound as its not shown on screen. The older aged man says the words 'locked up' this infers that he again knows the process that the prisons go through at night as the older age is represented to have been in the prison longer. Where as the young boy is very new and was confused before he was taught by the older man.

Near the end of the clip when the lights have all been switched off. There are sounds that are diegetic and asynchronous. These are of the people in prison either screaming and others saying words like 'shutup' very demandingly. The words said are said very deeply which could suggest that the younger age are screaming of fright and the older age are the intimidating, abusive ones.

Mise-en-scene
The mise-en-scene of this clip is that the clothing is the younger aged male's are wearing the typical plain blue top and bottoms with no jewlerry this is because they have to wear this clothing as they have been instructed to. However the two older men who star in this clip are wearing there own clothing that look comfortable. This could implie that the producer has represented older age as very rebellious and does what they want. Where as the younger age have the correct clothing on which shows they dont have the guts to not follow the rules.

The setting is very big and empty. As the walls are very plain and voices are echoeing through out the building this is the connation of a prison and shows that the producer has represented all ages wheither young or old can be put into prison as there isnt one target age group which commits crime. The other setting is set in a city which is a urban enviroment. I can identify this through the tall buildings, the noises of cars and how there is a lot of cars. As well as the car park and how there are police officers which in the country side there is meant to be not a lot of crime

The mise-en-scene of the prison rooms/cells are again very empty with plain walls. No windows and very basic uncomfortable furniture. The rooms very small and krostrophobic.

The lighting in the main centre of the prison is very bright as its very open and holds lots of criminals and officers. Whereas the cells have dimmer lighting this is because the producer is showing how isolated and compact the rooms are to show that living in a cell isnt a good place. Therefore trying to show the audience prison life and how negative it is.

The props that are used are that there is a newspaper on the older aged man's bed this could indicate that the producer is representing the older aged men as more assertive and intrested in whats going on. This could be because they have been isolated from the real world for so long that thats the only contact they have.

The body actions I have seen are that the older aged men are more relaxed but also are very tough and intimidating as they arent afraid to get in the younger aged men's faces using very deep and tough voices. Where as in the cell the younger aged boy was standing in the corner and was afraid to even enter the room properly this could suggest fear and uncomfort as thats they way the producer is representing younger age.

Editing
Through out the clip it is mainly sraight cuts to each camera type. This is because the producer didnt want the audience to loose there focus on reality and what is going on in prison life. However when the lights are all switched off it slowly and gradually fades to black this is to flow straight to the next scene which is in the city.There is one part in the clip where the straight cutting is very fast in the cell when the older and younger men are talking directly at eachother. This is when the younger boy has his first conversation with a older aged man in the prsion that he doesnt know. The fast pace of cutting could show his fear and how his hear could be beating fast through him being scared and frightned.
There is a action match of the older age man opening the door then walking through it. He is the first in the cell which could show he is the dominant one and then everyone else enters. Also there is lots of eye line matches in the cell between the older and yonger aged men. This could show that they both have respect for eachother as there not being rude and looking away. But it could also show the younger aged male being very careful that he doesnt not look at him as he doesnt want to show his fear.
