Genre Examples

Kidulthood is very similar to the idea out group has had, Kidulthood is about a 15 year old boy who hangs out with the wrong people and and gets in trouble because of it. This relates to our film because it has a similar story line and is the same genre.

Mise En Scene - the costume in Kidulthood is what you would expect to see in a Street Crime Drama the costume is very similar to what the gang members in our film will be wearing so that’s hoodies, hats, trackie bottoms. We won’t be using props in our two minuet but in Kidulthood they are using props that suit the genre of the film so knives and guns. The setting of Kidulthood is set in a London estate in dark, gloomy places and that’s what we have tried to create in out movie.

Sound - The dialog and how the people speak is what we want our gang members to talk like, as that is what teenagers that are from estates in London speak like.

Camera - Because our film will include chase scenes we will included many different shots like long shots, medium close ups ect and in the film Kidulthood they use these techniques in there action

scenes.

Lighting- The lighting in Kidulthood is very gloomy and dark this represents poor, rough and places associated with crime, this is what we would try to represent in our film.

Characters - The characters in Kidulthood are quite similar to ours as there teenagers effected by crime and gang violence, our main character fits the representation when you think of this particular genre.

 

Bullet Boy is also very similar to out film as the story line as sees him get in trouble with a gang. So the story line of this example will be very similar to ours but ours characters will be younger than the ones in bullet boy.

Mise En Scene - The costume is very much the same as what we would be using with the gang members, out gang members will be mainly wearing hoodies which is seen in bullet boy a lot they will also have their hoods up, The setting of bullet boy is also similar to what we’re aiming for with the blocks of flats, alley ways, woods etc, We won’t really be using props apart from a phone but typically in a this genre you would expect guns, knives and baseball bats.

Sound - Again the dialog and how the people speak are similar to Kidulthood and what we want in our film.

Camera - Like Kidulthood and our film they use the camera to show the action in detail.

Characters - The main similarity of the characters is out main character and Bullet Boys main character there is always normally a main character that gets involved in a bad situation in this particular genre like getting involved with a gang or angering a gang.
