Kidulthood


Analysis of the opening scene of 'Kidulthood'

The beginning of Kidulthood starts with a close camera shot of a teenage boy playing football it slowly zooms out with great focus which slowly blurs out and turns into a normal scene at a normal pace. The slow motion could have been to amplify how the teenagers have forgotten their values in a slow way, as they have began to take harmful drugs and behave very badly in society. There are three boys shown at the start wearing dark colour hoodies and they could be known as "hood rats"

Throughout the whole scene there was a lot of voices we couldn't hear, there was like a over voice, which kept overlapping everyone's voices and there was a lot of noises which then meant everyone was muttering. 

Kidulthood emphasises on the societies ideology and values of today. The society see teenagers as bad people, they belief they are very dangerous and could harm anyone. Kidulthood is an example of why the society feel this way as teenagers cause fights and harm other students.

  1. WWW: In the first paragraph you use textual analysis to analyse connotations in relation to the question.

    EBI: The remaining paragraphs are weaker becuase they either: a) do not use evidence from the text to support your ideas or b) use textual evidence but without any analysis.

    LR: Analyse the mise-en-scene from a freeze frame taken from the opening 5 mins of the film and apply CLAMPS: I.e. How do the Costumes, Lighting, Actors, Make-up, Props and Setting in that freeze frame reinforce or challenge the dominant ideology of society? Write P.E.A (POINT, EVIDENCE, ANALYSE) paragraph for each one.
