Stereotypes
The main steroetype shown in this film is the difference between life in the city and life in the countryside. In the city everything is fast and precise as is shown with the character of Nicholas Angel but in the country side it's the opposite, it's slower with no sense of authority which is shown by the character of Danny Butterman.
Directors
The movie was written by Edgar Wright and was co produced by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg.
Humour
It's a comical movie so humour was a big part of the film. Sarcasm and repition is used alot in the movie aswell as jokes using existing perceptions of the british police.
Camera work and editing
Close ups were used alot too show character reactions, mostly used on the main actors. Fast paced editing and montages were used too make boring clips more watchable.
