Three scenes Analysis:

1) This scene is when the police team congratulates Nicholas Angel’s for his promotion and departure: 

This scene is a wide shot to show the whole team, the location and their banner behind them written with ‘Good Luck Nicholas’ to represent their acceptance and gladness of his departure. The lighting is bright to fit and to display calm and a happy environment that they are currently in. The last sound we hear is from a push-pop confetti to demonstrate that they are celebrating and are excited as if it was his birthday however no other music is played after so that the audience could only pay attention to their body language (which they are seen with hilarious grins and smiley faces), to the slight awkward atmosphere and also to the possible feelings that Nicholas might have to their reaction since he was expecting the complete opposite from them so he might have felt a bit alone and betrayed. They all are wearing a police costume so it tells the audience their significance, profession and how they are known to him.

2) This scene is when Angel is reporting about the sea mine being deactivated:

This scene is a medium shot which at the side, we can see that Nicholas should be the audience’s main focus since everything behind is un-focused. The lighting is clear and light as we look around the area being green and fresh. We hear many metal-being-hit sounds because the old man hit it with his gun while Danny kicked it twice. To be able to concentrate on Angel and the hits, music was not heard. While Nicholas and Danny are in their police costumes to present their profession and authority, the old man is dressed comfortably to show that there are in his area. 

3) When Skinner goes to the police station to clarify that he didn't want to press charges towards the shop lifter:

This scene is a close-up that mainly shows the back of Angel's head and Simon Skinner but behind him, we can see Inspector Frank Butterman and PC Bob Walker in each side although they are quite unfocused. The lighting is bright so that we can see the Skinner's face expressions and the back of Angel's head much clearer so that we'll see in his point of view. An unusal instrumental sound can be heard when Skinner appears at the entrance of the office in the background which could suggest his appearance is suspicious. Inspector Butterman, PC Walker and Angel are with in police costumes while Skinner is wearing a suit to show that he's a business man.
