- opening images a of a knife which give the audience an idea of violence
- the first image of lil ze is an uncountable close up of him screaming which make you dislike him straight away.
- most of the sequence is very tight and claustrophobic
- the sequence is shot hand held which makes it much more chaotic
- all the shots are very low with only seeing a few shots of the people faces but they are stiff very distorted
- everything slows down when rocket is shown is a long shot that lasts more than 2 seconds.
- not much sky very dark and a lot of shadows are seen with a very grey palette
- there's a 360 tun with that camera that takes the scene right the sixties where there is a lot more brighter.
editing
- very quick editing that immediately sets the tone for the film
- kinetic editing
- as soon as we see rocket the fast editing stops and more traditionally editing techniques are used
- slow motion is used when rocket is see lil ze showing him as a threat.
- freeze frames are used to give a slight break from the narrative to allow Rocket narration to explain something
- 360 fade into the past
mise en scene
- a lot of the unnecessary shots of guns
- lack of sky
- dimly lit and when the flash back comes its much brighter
- knives and guns are used sets the tone of the film
- bowl of chicken blood also gives an idea of the themes of this film
sound
- first sound heard is knife
- vibrant Latin pop contrasts the narrative
- music stops when you see rocket
- the noise of the camera and guns match up in certain parts.
- mostly diegetic music
Ideology
- chicken tries to escape but fails , which foreshadows some character that try to do the same.
- there is some corruption shown through the police
- themes of violence and revenge are shown
- in the flash backs you see the older hoods that are much more playful and what they're doing isn't shown to be morally terrible
- themes of poverty is shown as these characters run through the slums
