Analysis of Kidulthood - Opening Sequence



I decided to analyse this opening sequence beause it has the same genre as our intial idea for opening sequence.

During the first 2 minutes of this film, we can see that it starts in a school - and it emphasises the characters mise-en-scene a lot. We can easily identify that this school has a sixth form attached to it as some characters are wearing school uniform but the some aren't in uniform. However, there is one character who is different to all the others as he is in a room working on something which we as the audience cannot see.

Also, due to the camera movements we can identify the main characters who will be involved in this film as they are given close ups during the first minute. We can also see that this school is a community school or a school with minimum discipine due to the actions which the characters are doing by the tree.

The music which is being played at the start of the sequence is very mysterious and suspensed, I believe this is done to emphasise the secracy of that one character who is working on something, as well as the other character who is going around asking the where abouts of another character.

For our own production, we won't be using any foul language, but we will be emphasing the fact it is a school which we will start the sequence at. Also, another aspect we can add to our sequence from this would be the mysterious sound played at the start.
