Universal studio’s is the ‘Parent’ company and funded the making of Hot Fuzz (conglomerate). It appeals to a British audience as the Universal logo is well known throughout the world as it related to professional film makers.

At the start of the film it shows lots of short clips of the policeman training.During these fast clips it introduces the character Nick Angel and shows his previous training and the background of his career.The use of cinematography is fast paced and has sharp quick movements from one clip to another, this makes you want to keep on watching.Iconography is used effectively with the police sirens in the background, and the police uniform and close up angles of the police badge.

Instead there are banners and a big party in the office as a send off to him. This creates humour because it shows him that no-one is bothered about him leaving. Nick Angel then goes to tell his Ex girlfriend that he is leaving; when he tells her he is leaving she doesn’t show any sad emotion towards the news, which again creates humour.This would relate to a British audience because people can relate to the feeling of having to leave someone because of their work commitments.Iconography has been used effectively for example with all the people at the crime scene being dressed in white overalls and wearing masks which is a typical stereotype people would relate to a crime scene.
