use of sound: Shane meadows used sound to show the passage of time, we see this in combos montage

Shane Meadows also uses editing, there are several montages in the movie, an example would be Shaun’s montage at the beginning of the film where he is alone, and in combos scene, where they commit crimes against minorities, this allows us to see Combo’s true character, as well as Shaun being guided down the wrong path

use of sound: Shane meadows use of sound is used to invoke emotion within the viewer

Mise en scene:

set design: The set design in This is England shows that it is a run down area that Shaun lives in, we can see this because of all the abandoned areas, and graffiti.

Costumes: the costumes in This is England represent what the people wore at the time, immersing the viewer, the Skinhead “uniform” is used to represent the bonds between the gang, Shaun’s acceptance as in the beginning of the film he wears different clothes to others showing he is separate, and with the uniform he is with other people and has a sense of belonging

Film Stock and aspect ratio: In this scene, Shaun’s mum is confronting him about his new haircut, outfit and behaviour, and the aspect ratio is smaller, showing how Shaun feels while being confronted

Cinematography:

In the film there are lots of camera angles and shots one example is the high angle shot towards the end of the film, that shows combo above shaun, milky and Banjo, showing him as above them in the scene

Young people: In this is England, young people are usually shown as very impressionable and easily manipulated, we see this with the characters Shaun and Gadget who both idolize combo despite him being a bad influence

older people: in the film, older people are shown as not liking change, this is shown with Shaun’s mother, who does not like his change in behaviour, which could also link to her not wanting him to grow up, and combo who does not like the change in diversity in England since he went to prison

working class people: in the film, working class people are shown as unable to afford luxuries that others can, like certain shoes, we can see this when Shaun wants a specific pair of boots, but his mum gets an alternative option instead

Asian / black people: Asian and Black people are shown to be discriminated against constantly in the film, and are shown to be powerless against their oppressors, this is shown in the shop scene, where combo threatens the life of a shopkeeper.

Men: men are shown as role models to the main character shaun, and what a man “should” be and how men should behave, we see at the start shaun views woody as a role model, but then when combo comes into the story he begins to view him as a role model.

women: women are shown as independent, this is seen with Shaun’s mum who is raising Shaun by herself, as well as Lol being a strong character in the regard she did not feel threatened by combo, despite knowing he was physically stronger.

i think the movie is a 8/10 the film made good use of types of shots and angles and a variety of both, the scene I found most memorable was the car scene with combo and Lol. as it gives context as to why some of the characters dislike combo and also shows combo’s true colours

Sound mixing is the process where the raw materials assembled in the sound editing process are combined and balanced into a coherent soundscape

karate kid (1984) john G.aildsen is my favourite movie soundtrack, as it makes good use of the songs for different scenes are used very well, like in the montage, the use of the song “you’re the best around” was very good and fit well for the montage
