(1:09) In this shot there is a council flat denoted in the background this connotes that they live in a really bad area and it gives the audience and idea of what social class these characters are, it shows that they are most likely working class. As there are houses around it shows the contrast from people who are not as rich to people who have about enough money to own a council flat. It displays the British social realism genre as these flats are usually seen in the UK and it is a stereotype that working class people live there.
(2:03) In this shot a girl in a tracksuit is denoted the tracksuit connotes that she is probably not very rich, the tracksuit also connotes that she is not the stereotypical girl in the sense of the way she dresses, this shows that she does not really care about what people think about her, it also connotes that she is like a 'Tomboy'. The also signifies her social class as she might not be able to afford anything better to wear.
(2:41) The shot denotes a girl walking near some cheap cars compared to other cars, although it connotes that the film is most likely set in the modern day it also connotes that people around the area do not have a lot of money, this brings up themes of poverty as people are struggling to live, these cars surround the council flats connoting that the people living in the council flats own the cars, therefore it shows the characters have a lower social class.
(2:55) This shot denotes 4 boys, in this shot we see the first colored person connoting that this film includes mainly Caucasian people who are living in Britain. The clothes they are wearing also connotes that they do not have much money, the clothes are quite casual and baggy connoting that they are working class. Also as they are boys it connotes that the film deals with themes such as adolescent life in the UK, this film uses generic conventions of BSR films as it shows people who are within working class.
(3:19) In this shot 5 girls are denoted again they are Caucasian connoting that the film deals with mainly Caucasian people. The girls in this shot are wearing more stereotypical girl type clothing, this connotes that these girl are stereotypical girls, but the clothing still connotes that they are working class as it is quite casual clothing and does not really seem like it costs much. In this shot we can see that it deals with themes such as teenage life. It displays generic conventions of BSR as they are most likely working class.
(4:09) In this shot the girl is walking away from the group of people, this connotes that she is probably lonely and does not have much friends, her facial expression connotes that she is also depressed, also the clothes she is wearing is different to the other girls connoting that she might be left out because she is different from the other girls and might be seen as an outcast. This relates to typical themes in BSR because it signifies the theme of loneliness.
In my work mise-en-scene in a smart way in my work to help the audience understand what type of characters are in the opening sequence, Also i will use the location to help the audience what kind of class the characters are within.
