British life is consrtucted through the micro elemnts by being dull, with little bright light and many smokey rooms, representing briths life as dull and boring. background charecters are alos used to create a sence of high unemploymnet. an example of this is the scene when the reporter visits the boy which was accused of the murder. while his is driving into a wet grainy town people are standing around doing nothing or salvaging cars for scrap metal. this relates to the situation at the time with mass unemployment and political unrest with there been a hung parliament in 1974.

The narrative for "Red Riding" revolves around the corruption of the police, journalists and powerful property developers.

"the thee films are very rich texts, mixing fact and fiction", such as the Yorkshire ripper, unemployment in the 70s as a result as a collaps in the mining industry and corruption in the police force. these are represented through the films narrative and also with clever use of the micro elements. One of scenes that portrays this, is the scene where Edward, our main character, is shown the location where one of the young girls was found. The location is a run down industrial area, or a closed down factory site.
