Advanced Portfolio Sam Tweed: October 2012

I did some research looking at snap shots of the films kidulthood and adulthood. I was looking at the angles that show power of the characters. Many of the characters have there power in a certain way as many of them have lower angled shots looking up at them.

This snapshot denotes a character staring at the gun that he is holding. His facial expressions connote that he may use this as he looks like his looking at the gun as an answer to a problem he may be up against.

In this snapshot there is text saying there is "nowhere to run" which would suggest why he looks emotional as he can't escape from what is troubling him. He also looks quite angry in his face which may suggest that he has nothing to lose as he can't go anywhere so there is nothing that he can lose. The only thing he can do is gain something from the situation.

This snapshot shows the distress and emotion of the character. The blood and cuts on his face suggest that this is something personal to him and that he has had to fight.

This snapshot is medium close up which shows the posture and some clothing of the character. The character looks like he is looking to do something bad as he has an aggressive look on his face.

In this snapshot the background is crucial as this is where all the trouble started off in the first sequel in KIdULTHOOD. This is the last scene in AdULTHOOD and it is where the trouble is settled with the weapon that killed 'Trife' being the main weapon once again.

In this snapshot the camera is slightly lower to show the slight power difference. We can see who has the power in this scene from the costume. The suit show that he has more authority than 'Sam' who has a hoodie like the stereotypical gang member.

In this snapshot the camera is angled low so the character looks like he is powerful and that he will not stop at anything as he is made to look bigger than any other character at this point. The bridge in the background helps make the character 'Jay' look even bigger as he looks superior in height making him stand out even more.
