Ultimate Force

Analysis of Visual, Technical and Audio Codes and the meaning of them:
Visual Codes:
All of the characters clothing is suiting to the show, in the funeral scene all of the mourners are dressed in black like you'd expect at a funeral and then all of the soldiers are dressed in their smart, green army wear, this gives the audience an insight into the kind on etiquette that there is at a soldiers funeral.
During this same scene there body language is very minimal, a lot the time you see characters looking to the ground and they also have negative facial expressions, this means that they are all in mourning for the person that they have lost.
There is also very little use of colour throughout the clip, a lot of the colours are the same, there is a lot of green as you'd expect as it's a program about the army and there are a lot of blacks because of the funeral scene and there are a few dark blues as well. This shows the audience that it is not a light hearted, comedy show, it is quite serious and covers quite serious issues.
Technical Codes:
At the start of the clip there the camera is angled so that you are looking down the sights of a gun, this is to make the audience feel as though they are part of the show and make them feel engaged, it also makes it clear what the show is about as the gun symbolized that the show is about war or the army/soldiers.
You then see a close up shot of the gun holders face, this allows the audience to see the displeasure on his face and at the same time it keeps the audience engaged in the show as it brings you closer to the character.
At the start of the clip the pace is quite fast, as the sights of the gun are moving around to try and find the target and then when the camera changes to a close up of his face and then when he takes a shot at someone, the fast pace is used to build up tension in the scene as you are anticipating what the man with the gun is going to do. The pace then slows down for the funeral scene and the movements of the characters and of the camera are at a slower pace to show that the characters are feeling at a loss because they have all lost someone who was important to me.
The start of the program is also an enigma code as all you can see is down someone looking down the barrel of a gun and it makes you question what they are doing, who they are looking for, and why they are doing what they're doing.
Audio Codes:
At the funeral, non diegetic sound/music is added in the background of church bells ringing to symbolize that there is someone being buried. At the same time there is also a gentle tune from what sounds like a flute, this is to bring an aura of peace and calmness to the scene which makes the funeral seem as realistic as possible to the audience. It also adds and sad, emotional emotion to the scene.
There is also non diegetic sound of the gun firing at the start of the clip, the sound is loud and echoes, this is meant to grab the audiences attention and it is used to shock the audience.
There is also a voice over used, when the man with the gun is looking through his sights for his target, you can hear the voice of the vicar talking at the funeral, this is showing that what he is doing is wrong, by having the voice of a vicar talking at a funeral it also is meant to symbolize that his target is going to be the next one having those words spoken to them at their funeral.
