The clip I am analysing is the opening sequence to Adulthood (Director: Noel Clarke, Date:20th of June 2008 ) This is a socially realist film set in West London telling of a group of young adults and the trials that they face.
The opening sequence shows a murder outside a nightclub.
The scene opens with the music building up gradually and people in an outdoor club, there is a split screen showing the youths male and female dancing to the music. There are various shots showing the youth of today and their different social classes also statuses, the story sticks to the stereotypical views of todays urban youths. The camera tracks a female who bumps into a male which seems to be attracted to her she misleads him towards her intimidating boyfriend and the dialogue starts with an over the shoulder shot of him. Suddenly a car turns into the corner of the outdoor club and a long shot is used to show the car as it will play an important part in the opening scene. A jump cut is used to show driver looking at the youths and the youths looking back. A low-angle mid-shot as the driver of the car looks left and right, as the driver couldn't get a glimpse of the youths through the side, a sudden smash on the car window of an unfocused character added in tension. A sense of verisimilitude is used when the bullet flashes to give the audience an insight of realism. The opening scene ends with a mid-shot of the boys scared and a close up of a boy deciding whether to run and he does end up running into the unseen part of the tunnel where he thought he would be safe.
A lot of mise en scene were used in the beginning of the clip, which tells a lot to the audience for example props ;the director chose his props wisely by choosing the typical clothing of the youths of today. By doing this the director has engaged with the audience giving them an insight that the clip creates verisimilitude also gives a sense of trueness and realism.
