4. This is the first shot of the sequence, there is a male sitting on his own on a
coach, the shot is quite long being at 7 seconds and is quite shaky so is probably
taken using a handheld camera.
5. This shot introduces us to the character, he is wearing a
yellow top and black jacket and staring out the window with
headphones in his ears. There is no diegetic sound, just a
non-diegetic soundtrack.
6. This shot shows the setting- blocks of flats in a run down area.
7. This shot introduces the second character and their name
‘shifty’, while he wears all black and is walking away from
the large block of flats.
8. This is the first shot that you get that hints towards the main
theme- drugs, the birds-eye-view shot shows little of the
setting only a sofa and table which makes you ask
questions like who is this new character and what does he
have to do with the storyline etc. The character is wearing a
green jumper and jeans.
