Storyline's And Plots In Teen Drama - Attack The Block

The storyline set up in my intro is a woman on the phone walking on the street, suddenly a gang approaches her and robs her, boy pulls a knife on her and then something falls on a car from the sky, later on we find out its an alien. The alien jumps out of the car and attacks the gang and runs off. The gang chases the alien and kills it. 

The binary oppositions set up in the film intro are : the woman versus the gang, the gang versus the alien and then black members of the gang versus the white members of the gang.

Mise en scene:

The women is dressed formally and is wearing colourful  clothing, whereas the gang members are dressed informally and are wearing black hoodies; this shows the difference between maturity within age.

Editing:

Sound-bridge is used to show the comparisons of the two different areas. One is shown to be as posh and the other as run-down 'poor'. The binary opposition is that the setting shows the different links between the characters.

 

Sound:

The woman speaks with a formal accent, whereas the gang members use colloquial language. This shows the difference between the characters, and that the woman is more educated than the gang members, in addition throughout the conversation the black gang member has a aggressive and rude tone to his language.

Camera:

The woman is shown in a high angle whilst she's on the floor, and the gang member's are shown in a low angle. This is used to reinforce the weakness that is portrayed through the woman and the dominance through the gang member's.
