Trevor respects his uncle and does the task of drilling a hole in a gun for him. The uncle exploits youth and has power in the criminal underworld, as evidenced by his threatening behavior toward Trevor. The lighting and night atmosphere enhance the sense of mystery surrounding the uncle's shady activities and two-faced nature, possibly representing fear of other gangsters while also being evil. Elements of the characters and atmosphere will be reflected in the coursework.

1. Textual Analysis: Kidulthood
The shot reverse shot of Trevor and his uncle sitting in the vehicle portrays the
respect that there is between them. Authority can also be seen in the shot as the
white male is under the control of Trevors uncle. Respect is represented throughout
the scene as Trevor has respect for his Uncle otherwise he would not have done the
duty and deed in drilling the hole in gun. The representation of the gun could be
seen as a key element later on in the film which could define the element of Trevor
drilling the hole in the gun. Exploitation of the youth and higher authority is clearly
identified in the dialogue that is spoken from the uncle. ‘The last boy that I asked to
do this was shit’. Analysis from that can show his power maybe in the underworld
because we do not know what happened to this boy who failed to please this
‘uncle’. The scare that Trevors uncle places on him when he points the gun at his
throat can represent the relentlessness of the uncle. This clip also shows the power
that this one character has and the rule he may have over people. This clip can be
portrayed and re-enacted in our coursework but in movement of the main
underworld gangster, which is to be played byHarvey. The deed of drilling the hole
in the gun that Trevor does for his uncle is to also be reflected in our coursework
but the deed is not seen in the clip, it is un identifiable to the audience. Dialogue is
to conjure the un fulfilled deed of a delivery that the second character under Harvey
should have done.
The lighting in the scene represents Trevor’s uncle as a two faced character. He
may be evil but on the other hand he may be scared himself of other gangsters like
himself, the unknown is a mystery. In addition the night atmosphere creates a sense
of shadiness and further enhances the effects of the plot which is unfolding. The
dark atmosphere is going to be shown in our clip to create a environment of
mystery. The Mise en Scene aspect mainly focusing on Trevor’s uncle can be
copied to replicate wealth. Instead of having a silver chain gold one can be used to
signify his stature from the dodgy dealings and business in which the two characters
are involved in. The black jacket in which Trevor’s uncle is wearing adds mystery
to the character of Trevor’s uncle.
