Adulthood...
The opening sequence of this film begins with credits being shown saying who produced the film (Cipher films) + who the creater of the film was ( Noel Clark) , next we see a series of flashbacks from the 1st film Kidulthood.The fist flashbacks are of some of the characters including mooney + sam, this is done to get the audience reacquainted with the characters + to show that the film might be following on from the previous movie, whilst this flashbacks are on there is no sound , this is done to make sure the audience do not get distracted + focus on who is going to be in the film. The next set of flashbacks are there to remind us what previously happened , whereby sam killed trevor with a baseball bat. A low piched sound then plays as we get a birds eye veiw of all the action , including a medium shot showing sam's shocked face. This whole first minute was done to explain breifly to people who have not watched Kidulthood what happens + give them an idea of what adulthood is going to be about.
Next a siren like sound is played to create the atmosphere of a rave, then writing appears on the screen saying "six years later" it is in slanted font + is also white which makes it stand out.The six years later is obviousl reffering to six years since trevor died.
The first main scene of the film we see a long panned shot of passing traffic which is then cut towards the rave showing us various shots of people, dancing + taking drugs. This is to set the atmosphere and also to show the audience what the living conditions are like where the film is based. Overall there is about a minute of different cuts to show what actually goes on at these raves. We are then introduced to Oman + Dabs, who go over to a posh car that has just pulled up + rob the man + also shoot him. The way the characters are portrayed is a way in which many tennagers can relate to these days. Such as the way they speak + dress + what they actually do with there day to day lifes.
The next shot is where the title scrren pops us says Adulthood, again the white writing on the blank black screen really stands out. In the background we hear sirens + youth music to set the next scene , where we are introduced to Sam coming out of prison.
The way the characters have been constructed with some as negative manner + some as positive manner it enables nearly all teenagers to relate tosome of the events. Also the scenario's which we see such as stabbing + theft are also something that everyone can relate to as we see these happening everyday in the news. So all this closness with the target audience makes them feel more involved with the film therefore enjoying it more.
The locations being used in the film are quite apparent + very ideal for the film Adulthood. As it is one of those teen/ brit thrillers we know that its going to involve lower/middle class people so the typical places we might see would be abandoned areas + flats. This is most likley to have been filmed in the rough troubled area's of London, where the surroundings are almost identical to what the film is trying to capture.
The sound which is used in the opening sequence is very underground grime + the fast cuts tie in with the beat of the music enabling the audience to get pumped up + ready for the fast paced film. We also heard some diolect in the opening sequence to people that cant relate to the characters it would seem that they are arguning or unhappy with each other but in fact its just the way they talk to each other everyday the tone and language they use is unique to there age in time .
The shots mainly used in the opening sequence are cuts this ties in with the mood and atmosphere also allows us to see the whole surroundings which is very important as we need to get to know the lifstyles of the charaters so the film will flow and is more understanding. The editing in the opening sequence is also the same as the music showing everything that is going on by splitting the screen into different segments + having the cuts match the music.
