Camerawork: the camerawork in this sequence is very interesting. We rarely see the actual characters as a lot of the sequence is animated, but when we do the shot used is a medium shot. This type of shot allows us to get a sense of the character through both body language and facial expressions: for example, Curtis at 0:32 is running across the screen, which not only hints to his past background as an athlete, but also suggests he might be running from something. To further this, he also turns his head as if he's looking for a pursuer.
Colour: the entire sequence is in the colours grey, ,black and white. This creates a particularly dark atmosphere, and may hint that the show itself is also quite dark and negative. This contrasts to the bright orange of their uniforms, which highlights the fact that they are doing community service and also makes them stand out from the world - i.e: they are 'misfits'.
Soundtrack: the song is called Echoes, by an indie rock band called the Raptures. This supports the genre as this genre of music sounds fierce, whilst remaining upbeat. This shows the fierce nature of the characters combined with the comedy element of the show.
