I have, also, learnt that opening sequences usually introduce more than one theme at a time. By looking at the opening sequence of Kidulthood it helped me to get an understanding of how this is done. Through the use of accents,(East London), clothing (Hoods), and camera angles, (High/low angles, to connote power) it was easy to understand the themes the film was going to discuss. For example, the theme of gender roles and relationship was seen right from the beginning when the audience see stereotypical East London rude boys. Through looking at how British Social Realist films, such as Kidulthood, introduce their themes and conventions to the audience, I now have a better understanding of how i can use these themes and conventions in my own style.
Overall this week i would say, through analysing how British Social Realist films use conventions and themes in their opening sequence to give the audience ideas of what the film is going to be like, i now have ideas of how to do this whilst making sure my work is original and current.
