Analysis of Still (BLK)

This shot is supposed to be from a British urban drama film

Representation of Genre

• bike sheds create a typical youthful setting, common of the genre and familiar to the target audience
• hoodies, jeans and trainers conforms to the genre and creates a character representation of young British hoodies 
• low angle makes characters appear intimidating and serious
• the image is supposed to appear as if two teenage (possible gang members) are breaking into a bike shed
• the long shot enables us to include a lot of the background which adds to genre

Success of the Shot
I think the genre comes across strongly due to the setting and costumes as well as the positioning and activity of the characters; breaking into bike sheds. I also think the low angle works well.
Improvements
I feel our shot could be improved by closing in the framing of the shot as there is not enough focus on the characters in comparison with the background. In addition, it could be more obvious what the characters are doing in the shot by showing the lock they are trying to break. The characters could also have more relevant facial expressions. This would make the narrative and genre come across much more strongly.
