1. My genre is gritty London. The reason why I had chosen this is because I love the feel of a London
crime drama and the darkness of the story. I also like how they use ambient lighting to give that
gritty sense.
(My brother the devil)
when analysising the opening sequence to
my brother the devil it is a load of pictures of
the people living in rough places in london
(council estates, back streets ect) to establish
where we are and where the location is set.
It is in black and white aswell to maybe
represent the povity and dark time (evil,
drugs, killing).
It then cuts to two short clips of the two
brothers and what the current situation is in
their lives. So its already showing the two
main chariters and a tiny bit of a background
story (the older one likes boxing or he has
anger issuse and likes to get his anger out
through boxing and the younger one has just
came out of secondry school and has now
finished)
As we get a bit further on in the clips,
pictures of the dangers and the people who
live in that part starts to get a bit more
sireous and more dangerous to set us in the
mood and to tell us what is happening in
that location.
As the pictures start to come to a close we
strat to see the relationship of the two
brothers and we know they are brothers
because of them saying to eachother
“brother” and mensioning other family
members

2. about 2 and a half minuets in the opening titles
come in and shows up at the end of their (the two
mens) convosation. this is effective because it cuts
in normaly and out of the blue so its maybe
representing that ist a normal day for thse two.
(Ill manors)
The first thing we see in the opening
scene of ill manors is that we see a guy
lighting a cigarette (marijuana maybe?).
He is watching the TV about how people
are untreated and how the mother tried
to get her children in to school. The TV is
a small box TV in a small bedroom so we
can start to get a sense of what class he
is.
When he switches the channel, it turns to a
person talking about how he has a strong
family supporting and backing him up and
when he says that it turn to the guy watching
the TV and you can see the pain in his eyes so
we can infer what his family status is by saying
that he isn’t close to his family because of his
reaction to that short clip.
Establishing shot of the neighbourhood, how
the film would revolve around a working class
as it is of a rough-ish area- maybe linking to a
negative background that he has
There is a narrator in the back ground saying
“you’re in for a ride, put your seat belts on
because this is ill manors where dark shit goes
down” this is establishing what type of film it is and what the type of film is. The accent he has is a
gritty London one so we can tell where it is set as well by that clue. It’s also time lapsing to show

3. how busy it is and how many people there are in that area, and where ever you go there is always
trouble so it may be showing that there is trouble here?
There is also a mixture of ethnicity shown in the short clips, therefore there is no target of
representing a specific ethnic background so it may be telling us of the whole range of ethnic
background of people that there is.
Because there is a lot of phones we
normaly conect this with drug
dealers so it could be representing
the drug users in this film and
dealers.
It then goes on to show people
calling aload of other people so it is
showing how everyone knows
everyones buisness and how you
cant keep anything secret in this part because everyone is well connected in this part of london.
Things that I can pull and take from this is maybe using time lapses of where my movie could
potentially take place. Also the language that thy have been using, shall I use some of the dialog that
they are using? I am also thinking about doing it in the evening where it’s not do dark yet its dark
enough to see them but giving a grimy feel to it.
KIDULThood
The opening sequence of kidult hood
is with a black background and
scruffy white wirghting. The scruffy
wrighting could be representing the
‘scruffyness’ of the area where this
film is situated. The omly diolog is
kids screaming and playing in a
school perhaps? Also with
grime/gargae music playing in the
background, a popular and common
choice of music in the poor parts of london.

4. it then cuts to a school wher ethe
sounds of childern come apparent
with children playing going on with
their daily lives in school. Then in the
playground there are 3 youths,
talking and one is on their phone
(perhaps talking to a drug dealer
indiating that there is frug use in this
film maybe?) and with the other
person with his hood up and looking suspicious looking out for higher authority if they are looking so
backing up the fact that they are up to no good.
Then there aretwo girls talking with
thick london ghetto accents about
everyday life and one of them turns
round and says “got any gritt?”
(implying drugs) as if it is an evryday
thing because she doesn’t react to it
with any negativity so I can tel thtat
the place where they are it is very
drug orientated.
Shortly after that there is a gang of
three. I can tell thet they are feard of
and respected (probably beccause
they are rough people) because he
anonces to a person with great
disrespect and and they reply
sounding scared. Also in the
background is very suspicious music
giving the impression that they are up
to no good maybe.
One of them says they
have nothing to wear
for the party that they
are going to Friday nigh
and the blond one says
if I score some money
for stuff wear will you
come. Th eone with
black hair says where

5. you going to get that amoun of money from and the blond one says don’t you worry abouty that ill
get it. This suggests that she is into dealing or stealing because she seems extreemly shady about
where she gets the money from.
it cuts to a guy stashing something
looking extreemly carfull if anyone is
lookingh. We can imply that he is a
dealer or a mule dillivering the drugs
because he hide it and due to the earlier
drug reffernces in the 2 minute clips
Green Street
At the start it shows the typical london
underground and it has football chants in
the background. So I can infer that this
film is to do fwith bootball. The lighting is
quite dark and gritty (no artifisual
lighting added to movie) this maybe
represents the povity of where they are
maybe.
We then see the people chanting. They
are dressed in track suits and nice
trainers. We normally associate this look
with hooligans and trouble makers so I
can tell that they are trouble. The camera
shot is low maybe implying that they are
strong and powerful.
There is a shot where there are two
groups either side of the railway track. It
is an over the shoulder shot so it is giving
the impression that we are stood behind
them (we are part of the action). The
people that we started off with are
mugging the other people off and

6. shouting at them so we and expect further action to go down and maybe a fight to happen. It is a
shot reverse shot as the dialog is thrown one to another so backing up the fact that they want us to
feel a part of the action.
there is a guy in the middle and infront of
every one so we can imply by the way
they are blocked that he is the main guy
that we are suppose to look out for in the
movie. There is diogetic sound in the
background of what a train station sounds
like so it gives us a greater impression and
backs up the fact that they are acctually in
a train station.
90 seconds in there is already a fight so I
can tell this film is very fight orientated.
The camer looks as if it is beeing hand
held due to a lot of shackin as its panning
around yetr again making us part of the
action. There is fake and over dromatic
punching sounds to give an extra
dimension to the fighting.
