I have chosen Fernando Meirelles and Katia Lund’s 2002 coming of age film, City of God for my textual analysis. This film follows two young boys growing up in the crime filled slums of Rio de Janeiro through the 60s to the 80s and the different paths that leads one to be an aspiring photographer and the other to be a notorious drug dealer within the slums. I have chosen the section of the film between 00:55:50 – 01:00:10 around halfway through the film which follows the runts of the slums as they hold up shops and are then confronted by Lil Ze as he forces steak’n’fries to kill one of the runts to prove himself to the gang. To analysis this section, I am focussing on mise-en-scene and editing and its representation and ideologies of gang culture at the time. I will also be discussing the social and historical context surrounding the film.

movie – city of god

scene – lil ze finds the runts 00:55:50 – 1:00:10

They are responsible for bringing the material to life. They work with the writers to get a clear vision of how the production should look. They lead the production team in planning for the production, identifying filming or rehearsing schedules, casting for roles, and other aspects that need to be decided upon.

Directors provide direction to the actors to ensure that the actors understand their role and will be able to effectively convey emotions to the audience. They also manage all other crew members and communicate their expectations clearly so that everyone on the set is working towards one vision.

Scripts contain only actor dialogue and a description of what is happening. Screenplays tell the production team how to create a production made for screens as opposed to books, and include everything scripts contain. Screenplays also include camera angles, positions, locations of scenes, and dates. Scripts are typically associated with theatre, whereas screenplays are normally associated with films or TV shows
