BSR Themes & Situation

From this image you can tell that the themes of the clip are sexual harassment, rape and relationships. In this clip the girl is being pinned against the wall and sexually harassed by a the man.

The themes in this clip are interracial relationships and racism. In this clip the asian boy does not want to see the other boy and girl together so he tries to split them apart but this was hard to tell from watching the clip. 

Realistic Representation (stereotypes & archetypes)

There are two characters in this clip. The main character is the normal helpless young girl, who looks innocent. The other character being a young man wearing a hoodie which normally is represented as a hoodlum in British films.

In this clip the characters and their roles are not very clear but the there is a normal asian wearing traditional clothing and boy.

BSR Mise-en-scene

The mise-en-scene is done well in this shot as everything matches. The location is rough and grimey and the clothing the boy is wearing fits the location of a dirty ally way. This shows that is a rough area and gives a feeling of danger.

The mise-en-scene is done well in this shot as it has been recorded in a public clothes shop and most people in the shop are wearing traditional clothing except the boy which fits with the theme of interracial relationships.

Music, sound effects & realistic dialogue 

Throughtout the clip there is sad music connoting that something bad is going to happen, this also helps to set the mood. There is no dialogue which could have helped shaped the story more but most of it is clear and understandable. I did not notice any sound effects as most of them was natural.

Throughtout this scene there is grime music playing which is common in British films but does not really fit with the themes. There is only a small bit of dialouge which is not very clear which makes the story very hard to understand.

There is no sound effects but this did not make a difference.

Camera work & Editing

The camerawork throughout this scene is very good in this particular shot it is a high angle connoting that vulnerable and it makes her look powerless and helpless. Also the cuts throughout the scenes flow very well and are not jumpy. The low angle shot while the boy is walking out the ally way works well as it shows the boy has alot of power over the girl.

Throughout the clip there was not a good range of shots but some did work as well as others. The over the shoulder shot at the start worked well but the over the shoulder shot was used quiet frequently which got boring to watch.

Appropriate opening sequence graphics

                                                                                                                                            

 These are the only graphics in the clip which shows the production company, there could have been more graphics to set the mood. In both clips it is the same.
