Different camera works are being used in Cuffs in series 1, episode 1. For example at the very beginning of the episode there is an establishing shot of Brighton, this is showing the audience where the series will be set, what is happening there and to see what the weather and scenery is like. These are normally high angel shots as it shows you everything quickly and clearly. Another time where there would be an extreme wide shot or just a wide shot is when the police cars are chasing a certain something, these shots also tend to either slowly zoom out and go into a different scene or zoom into the actual police car and show what is happening in more detail.
However, Cuffs does also have a lot of camera shots where it is an extreme close up which is sharing peoples emotions so the audience can connect with them. When the fictional character PC Ryan Draper got punched by the people on the beach there is an extreme close up of his face while he wipes the blood of his nose, this is there so we will sympathise for him and can clearly see his anger and pain.When the man is wanting to commit suicide, the camera zooms in and becomes an extreme close up shot of his arms and we see all the cuts on them, this shows the audience he isn't in a good mindset.
There are times when they are using a hand held camera for the effect that they are running of trying to escape. This is used in scene when the police are chasing people or trying to track them down, this gives the impression that the camera being used from the polices point of view.

2. Amplify the first example's EAA: we see that Brighton is a busy, sprawling seaside tow, meaning that the police will cover a large and diverse population from students to day-trippers to working people. Brighton is also known for its party culture and foreign visitors, thus presenting many challenges.
