Mise-en-scene

In the first episode of Cuffs, we see Jake and Nathan go to the home of an alcoholic/drug addict and after calming him down and entering his house, we see mise-en-scene. The house is very dirty and un kept, also there is very little light. We are also shown bottles upon bottles scattered all over the house. This scene portrays the difficulty of being a police man and the painful situations they are in everyday through mise-en-scene.

In the nudist beach scene, we see drunken men intimidating and making fun of the naturists.The mise-en-scene in this scene is the drunken men's outfits and appearances. For example, the drunk men were wearing matching rugby jerseys and viking horns. This represents there masculine appearance and their ravaging relating to the vikings. When the police arrive, we see a contrast in the smart appearance and uniform of the police, to the drunken men all wearing viking horns.

  1. 3/5 marks ( a bit generous)
    "The house is very dirty and un kept": (unkempt refers to hair / clothes). Be much more specific or you don't earn marks.
    "their ravaging relating to the vikings."I know what you mean but this is not well expressed and you need to think about how to re-phrase it.
