Evaluation Question 1

Effect	Scene	Evidence
Use Of Narrative – developing the story, setting the theme of the film		Establishes an ongoing rivalry between the two gangs. The words and dialogue used immediately shows it is urban based. Words such as 'blud' and other slang promotes a language that a teenage audience could relate to more.
Mise-en-scene – locations, props, time of shoot		Portrays the urban theme through alleys, tunnels, graffiti and flats. The clothes worn are all representing urban and gang natured themes through hoodies and ‘trackies’. These are all stereotypial of an urban theme and an urban based film.
Editing techniques – slow mo’s, cross cutting sound etc		Lots of quick cuts to promote the running scene to engage the audience in a sense of urgency and adrenaline during the fight and chase scenes. The fast cuts and different length shots make a varied chase scene which is not as predictable as constant edits and cuts.
Use of camera – high angle, panning, hand held, close up, medium shot etc		A mixture and large range of different angles and shots such as panning and long shots, during the running scenes promote urgency. And engage the audience into a faster paced scene. The film's speed varies from scene to scene, engaging the audience further.
Special effects – Titles, transitions, flashbacks etc		We used distorted titles to promote a crumbling urban society and a black and white effect for the gangs to make the scene more engaging and interesting for the audience. Kidulthood also used this effect in its film.
Characters		The characters enhance the theme of urban gangs, rivalry and lifestyle. The clothes, dialogue and characteristics show an urban theme alike the films we took inspiration from.
