Film Openings (Harry Brown)

We looked at films opening scenes and from this we had to work out the genre using DISTINCT and from our own knowledge the films we looked at included Clueless and Harry Brown.

This is the Harry Brown opening scene. In this scene the it is shown to be on the streets of a city possibly London and under an underground pass in a dark and unknown place. In the scene there is peer pressure of a gang members forces another member maybe a new member to do the drugs. The next scene is during the day and shows the aftermath of the drug use and them going crazy. This scene is very fast paced as he is going at high speeds on a motorbike whilst also getting out a gun. This shows in the scene that a lot is going on for the opening scene. The camerawork is extremely close up like it is on a mobile phone and is like you are actually there experiencing what is going on.
