By Hassan Abdalla

2. Editing
• The film uses some fast paced editing to the
upcoming action in the film, this was to create a
sense of excitement for the audience. This follows
the media conventions as there is more
excitement and tension the editing tends to
become faster.
• The film is in black and white but the only colour
feature is the candy, this was used to show how
valuable the candy is, to make it stand out for the
audience and to illustrate the importance of the
candy.

3. Camerawork
• The camera work in this film is very
conventional, it features a wide range of
shots.
• When the bullies approach the little girl there
is a low angle on them, this was to show that
how powerful they are and the is a high angle
on the girl and this shows how powerless she
is.

4. Mise en scene
• The boys are sitting in the corner of a housing blocks
which is very stereotypical as now many boys are just
sitting around in a large group being antisocial.
• The little girl was wearing all white, this was used to
symbolise her innocence which make the audience like
her and feel sorry for her.
• The boys are wearing tracksuit bottoms and trainers
which is very stereotypical which is what most teens
wear, however this was used to represent the social
class of the characters and also the antagonists in film
are not dressed very aesthetically which makes the
audience dislike them.

5. Sound

sounds which is the music. The music was very tense,
this was used to enhance the intensity of the scene and
to build it up for the audience.
• When the boys are speaking they are very aggressive
with their tone in comparison to the girl which shows
the difference that boys are more aggressive than girls.
• At the end there is high energetic music track playing
this is to show that everyone is happy. Completes the
