Analysis of Camera and Editing

Camera:

This camera shot is Tracking the boy which connotes that he is the main character as he is getting more screen time and the camera is following him around to see what he is doing this camera shot also gives us the chance to see the setting and the location of the film  which gives us the idea of his background and what class he could be in which could denote the themes of this film, such as poverty as the scene we see a back garden and a shed that looks old and run down almost as though no one has taken care of I  the camera track shows the foreground is a  country side showing that it is set in a quiet place where not many people would live, this is a clear representation of a BSR through the use of the location is an abandon back garden  that looks like no one uses very often in most BSR they have or own either something that is old or run down but they use a lot, the tracking makes us see what he is doing this camera technique allows us to see a point of view from on of the characters this shot tends to work best when there is a movement taking place.

 Establishing shot- showing us the location of the film and also shows the main character in the shot, this shot is showing most of the focus on the setting and location  of where it is filmed, this shot gives the audience an idea on what type of theme there might be in the film as the location can give us a lot of information this scene is denoting the deserted streets are empty and very quiet this could connote that they live in a country side where its away from the city and not busy, this scene also shows us that there isn't many people around there this shot also connotes that the little boy is the main character as he is the only one in the shot, a lot of British social realisms use run down houses or flat estates but some of them mainly use the country side as it shows the other side of a BSR unlike the other typed of BSR we see where they are filmed in a flat estate more or less the popular theme is violence but in here we see that its mainly working class is shown clearly.The establishing shot is used when showing the setting or a location this gives the audience an idea of where the film was set.

Mid body shot and a two shot - body language and and conversation taking place. This shot here is showing us the two different types of social class you have the old male character who is dressed in a smart attire such as waist coat, blazer and a pocket watch then you get the little boy who is taking a bag to fill the it up with newspaper this is connoting that this little boy has a job as paper boy and that he is doing this to earn money as this could denote the theme of poverty,the scene is also denoting that they are both very different people and you can see that the older guy has more power and authority over the little boy as he looks at his watch then to they boy indicating the he was late, this is showing a popular British social realism theme poverty in a lot of BSR'S you see the kids tend to get a job and earn money for example in The selfish Giant Arbar gets a job and earns money.This mid body shot allows the audience to see body language and this shot is used a lot to show the audience what's happening, the two shot here indicates that a conversation is taking place allowing the audience to get an understanding of what's going on.
Editing:

In this scene we have a cut edit being used this allows the scene to go into another scene with a smooth transition this allows the audience to watch the film without noticing that a cut has happened. In this scene here we see the little boy getting up from his bed and getting dressed then the scene gets cut to the next scene which is him leaving the house to go to the shed. in this scene the cut edit is done well as its was not noticeable every single film and BSR use the cut edit as it is very easy to use and easy to understand and is just easy to execute in a film.The edit in this shot was a cut this cut allows a smooth transition to take place it also allows the audience to know that it is a new scene on screen.

In this scene we have a long take most British social realisms use long takes in there films it's one of the most used takes in editing, the long takes allows us to see and focus on either the character on the screen who is running away from the dog and it also allows the audience to see the surrounding of the location and to see what they can expect in the film, the location allows us to see what type of place they live in if it is a rough area. This scene also allows us to see how things are in reality and also the BSR shows us that its not all glamour and and it shows the reality of life, this take shows us the setting and location of how there life is like. The long take is different to the establishing shot, the establishing shot shows us the setting but the long take focuses on the movement on the screen, this is showing the audience the different between the two shots.

In this scene the music played emphasises that he is a child as the music played is flute that reminds me of the pied piper which can relate towards child hood, but in this scene you see the boy walking delivering the paper to people therefore connoting that his childhood is shortened therefore he wont get time to live it, the music is played the minute he starts to walk the music showed he was still young and we forget that as in the film we see that he is a angry boy who befriends a Kestrel bird and changes but because he if forced to grow up quick and put his childhood behind him. Music is sometimes used in BSR to show something start's dramatic or that stands up, this type of edit was selected to remind the audience that the boy in the screen is still a child, and to add to it the music chosen to play is almost childlike.
