CUFFS: REAL LIFE

 How far dose the extract try to create a sense that it is portraying "real life"

This extract tries to create a feeling that it is showing real life by showing the police officers in normal places to make them look like a part of society. The officers are seen in the city centre in a restaurant and on the streets around the city. Many of these locations are seen in normal life so this then makes them look included in society and everyday life. Seeing the officers here make them a part of normal life which everyone experiences.

Another way the film tries to show a sense that it is showing real life is by showing the police officers trying to arrest people who have committed a crime. The female officers are shown in a close up moving shot talking about Jake the new officer. The clip we see a tractor crashing into a shop to steal the cash from the shop ATM, we then see the officers call for backup to try and help. Seeing the officers doing this makes them look like a part of society and a part of normal life.
