Kidulthood



The first camera angle in the movie is an eye-level one but from a far distance or safe distance, i say this because it seems as if it could be from another child in the playground. This is also emphasised in the editing, it is very fast past and your only on one section for a few seconds which makes you think its a student because they are quickly looking around and seeing different people in the playground.

throughout this sequence it keeps cutting to another scene of a drill, the camera angle here s a close up all you can see is the drill, it doesn't let you in to who is using it or what he is drilling. this does two things it build suspense by making viewers question what he or she is doing. it also shows that there is calm even though outside is chaos.

the story-line then moves onto a scene inside the class room. its just about when a fight is going to take place. when the fight starts up the camera angle changes between each person, when is from the point of view of the girl getting beaten up the camera is low down and looking up. on the other hand when its the bully it is high looking down. this shows that the bully is in control of her victim it also goes along way to show each of their social status.

other camera angle used during the fight is one through the eyes of the bully victim, in this section it shows the bully and her friends coming right up close to the camera, this is to show how they were in her face. it also makes the watcher feel the intimidation of what the bullies have inflicted on her victim.

  1. Well done, Harry. You have been able to comment on the camera shots as required. I am concerned that your work is sloppy; you must use punctuation and be accurate in your work or your comments lose their impact.
