1. Evaluation 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

2. The title of the film
The title is at the end of the opening
scene, the title is bold and in the
centre of the page and because the
background is black it is easy to the
text of the title. We chose “God of
the Hill” because the film is created
in Harold Hill which illustrates the
point of the “hill” in the title, the “God”
suggests that the boss is looking
down on people because they are
not as high as the hill.

3. Setting/Location
The setting/location is set in East
London in England, this location
is notorious for gang violence
and drug trafficking therefore i
thought it was suitable for our
scenario. The end scene which
is a unused shed, the fact that it
is messy means that these
individuals do not look after their
belongings and because it is
grimy shows that these people
are ruthless.

4. Costumes and props
The costumes which were used
within the film followed the codes
and conventions of a typical
gangster film, black connotes
death and violence. The main
character which is played by
Sam Braithwaite wears a black
Nike hoodie which is
stereotypical to a individual
which surpasses the law by
having his hood up within the
range of East London.

5. Camerawork and editing
We used many techniques for
camerawork such as the point of
view shot which is the actual eye
sight of the individual when they
are endangered, long shots were
used so that we could use the
location which gave a sense of
scenery to the film. Over the
shoulder shots were used in the
final scene when dialogue was
introduced as we stuck to our
180 degrees rule.

6. The font and style
The font and style we used for
the credits within our film was
bold white subtitles with a line to
break up the wording, we used
bold white titles because we
wanted them to stand out within
our thriller and make them large
so that they are visible for the
audience.

7. Story and how the opening
sets it up
The opening scene opens up
with David Mackenzie acting like
a good friend to the character
who is played by Sam
Braithwaite but portrays him by
setting him up to the King Pin
who is played by Alfie Dobson.
This sets up the opening scene
with the betrayal from the
characters.

8. Genre and how the opening
suggests it
The opening suggests the genre
of the film through the clothing
and location, the clothing
because the use of black
clothing and a hoodie suggests
that they are trying to avoid
someone or something, the
location because it is dark and
because of their clothing this
shows that they are trying to stay
hidden to do their business.

9. How characters are
introduced
The main two characters meet
expecting to do their job which
they usually do on a daily basis,
however because the character
played by Sam Braithwaite has
been taking extra money out of
the profits which they had been
earning therefore the boss has
forced the character who was
played by David Mackenzie that
he needs to be sent to the safe
house which his driver came to
collect him
