Analysis Mise-en-scene In Ill Manors

Ill Manors: 

Production Design: Costume 

This screen grab here is showing that he is wearing a modern expensive hat which is denoting  that to the outside world he wants to appear well off and be represented as though he has enough money,at the screen grab 1:03 you can clearly see that he is not well off and that his house is dull and looks small and empty, you can also see his appearance is very weak and aggressive  this is being shown through his facial expression and his beard makes him look aggressive ,the genre that is being represented is your normal British social realism This shows the audience that they are not well off and that they look like they are struggling and this is denoting to the audience how the character on the screens life is different from ours,k  the mise-en-scene is costume and this is showing the audience how his life is like just by seeing the type of clothing he is wearing.
Lighting and Colour: 

 This screen shot 2:00 has been filmed using natural light but, its colour pallet is blue, this is denoting that the blue pallet is to make the audience feel cold and feel the atmosphere of what should be felt when watching, The blue pallet runs through out the whole film, almost every single British social realism film uses the blue colour pallet to put across this emotion towards the audience.This makes the audience feel like that the are that is seen is a rough area where people who earn just about enough money would live but yet the two building in the screen show how isolated the location looks and how detached it is from the city this makes the audience think that immediately that the people are poor or working class.

Actors:

At 4:36 in this screen grab you can see the main characters, they are roughly around mid to late twenty s, in this screen grab it is connoting two guys standing in an isolated area in the dark, this could denote that they are drug dealers as this is following the British social realism of having something to turn to when you have nothing left to do, so drug dealing in an isolated place where people would walk and can easily access drugs through theses two people, the two characters here are denoting to the audience that they are up to something they shouldn't be doing as they are standing in the corner of the wall under the tree makes them loos suspicious to the audience as you wouldn't normally see people standing there in the dark, this would make the audience feel that they are up to no good almost as though they are hiding or keeping a low profile from someone, these will make the audience feel like they are up to something and make them feel like something will happen or that they are hiding something either way this makes the audience think that something is not right.


Production design: Sets         

At 2:21 you can denote that this is set in an estate flat, which is following the British social realism films where almost all of them are set in a rough setting, most British social realism follows the set by using an estate flat as it looks more run down and also more believable towards the audience, the two buildings show how isolated they are form everyone and this will make the audience feel like they are away from everyone and also this shows the audience that people who are earning just enough money are living in these estate flats.The flat estate comes across as people who earn a small amount of money live in them, this makes the audience feel that a lot of problems could take place in these areas as it appears to look edgy and rough, makes the audience feel that problems could take place here.

Sound:

 The sound in this opening sequence is non digetic so only the audience can hear it, what we hear is a voice over of someone speaking and rapping through the beginning the voice over is connoting the story line a bit, the voice over starts at 1:26 this is when we hear what the story line is about and what is being said , this is showing the audience the how effective a voice over is and it creates an effect on what they can expect, at 1:55 rap music plays that suits the scene that is taking place.When listing to the rap they lyrics are explaining the situation this gives the audience an idea on what to expect in the film s the song being played gives us the information about what they do and why they do it, it makes the audience aware on what to expect.

Era:

0:56 shows us that the TV box  is being shown is very old and this gives us an idea on what type of era they were aiming towards which was early 2000's when the box was popular and the strap back hat was popular back then as in the modern age you don't see people wearing it as much as they did back then, all British social realism aim towards a specific era that allows the audience to see how it was then and how it is different now, this gives the audience an idea on what type of era this film was based on, as in the twenty first century not many people own a box set television so the screen grab above helps with what era its set in and also helps the audience to know that.

In my British social realism opening sequence I will make sure that I take on the correct conventions needed for a BSR, I would make sure that I use an appropriate location, following the British social realism films such as Ill manors, A room for Romeo Brass and The Selfish giant I would use a run down location to film and also a very simple room to film in because normal British social realism's don't show a lot of wealth other than when  comparing the classes with someone higher than them, in each of the BSR  i have watched they all have one thing in common and that is how it is represented to the audience they all make it relatable to the audience so they can relate to the film.

I would also use the blue colour pallet as it is used a lot of BSR films this makes it look more cold and realistic i would also stick to real life situations that makes this more relatable  for the audience , I would also use everyday regular people because in most BSR's you don't see famous people you see people who are like everyday people i would also make sure that the audience would get across the story line by creating a good story  line that is clear if i can make a clear story line to my audience they will understand everything else that will go on, i would make sure that the setting and lighting used will be correct and would make the audience feel as though they can see what's going on and they are able to make sense of it.
