Our film uses conventions from real media products like Green Street and Football Factory by having a male-centered cast and establishing the main character at the beginning. The opening scene establishes the main character as a football hooligan through his clothing, drinking beer for breakfast, and a bag of flour meant to imply drugs. The film uses editing techniques like rhythmic editing to match a fast-paced montage of the character getting dressed to music, zooming in when beer is poured on cereal to portray abnormal behavior, and jump cuts during a walk to show the passage of time quickly. It also uses flashbacks prominently seen in films like Green Street to reveal backstories for fights requiring revenge.

2. IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE
FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?
OUR FILM IS VERY MUCH THE SAME AS REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS SUCH AS GREEN STREET AND FOOTBALL FACTOR. THIS
IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT BOTH THESE FILMS ALSO USE A VERY MALE STRONG CAST AND SHOW THE MAIN
CHARACTER FROM THE BEGINNING AS IT ALLOWS THE AUDIENCE TO GET A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THEM.

3. MISE-EN-SCENE
• In this scene we have the main character
wearing a Ralph Lauren cap. This is
iconography as it is the type of clothing
you would see a football hooligan wear.
• In this scene the main character is drinking
beer with his breakfast. This shows that he
has the characteristics of a football
hooligan. This allows us to show what the
character would be like through the full
film.
• This is the opening scene. In this you can see
a small bag of flour. This was used to make
the audience think it was drugs. This makes
the main character seem bad as he is into
taking drugs which is perceived as a bad thing
to do.

4. EDITING
TO BEGIN OUR FILM WE USE A FAST PACED MONTAGE OF THE CHARACTER GETTING DRESSED THIS IS USED TO MATCH
THE PACE OF THE MUSIC, THIS IS CALLED RHYTHMIC EDITING. WE ALSO ADDED A ZOOM WHEN BEER IS POURED ON
THE CEREAL. THIS IS TO SHOW THAT THIS IS ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR FOR ANYONE. WE ALSO USE JUMP CUTS WHEN
THE CHARACTERS ARE WALKING DOWN TO THE HOUSE. THIS IS SO WE ARE ABLE TO SHOW A PASSAGE OF TIME IN A
SHORT SPACE OF TIME.
WE ALSO USE A FLASHBACK WHICH IS PROMINENT IN OTHER FOOTBALL HOOLIGAN FILMS SUCH AS GREEN STREET.
THEY USUALLY ARE USED TO SHOW A FIGHT WHERE THE CHARACTER OR SOMEONE CLOSE IS BEATEN BY SOMEBODY
WHO THE MAIN CHARACTER WANTS TO GET REVENGE ON.
