Paragraph 1: (all about characters) PROPP : How realism is shown - through characters. characters are not that famous. They represent the majority of the teenagers today. Through the language (M)- 'restricted code' (S) often used by working class. Propps - what they wear also shows the realism. This film covers charcters from different ethnicities.
against: but it isnt representative because they do not look at ASIAN minority. It is argued that this film is based on stereotypes and what they show is not a true representation of real life. (refer to reviews: websites)
Paragraph 2: (all about setting: refer to Bullet boy) The setting can relate to the lifestyle and actions of the characters. The elements used to create this realistic approach is the use of natural lighting. ( refer to any other media language elements, make reference to any research and comment on any arguement against this proposal.)
Paragraph 3: Directors note/experience (low budget)- Compare to Bullet Boy. Basing the film on his own experience. How his own experience relates to the realistic element that the film holds.

"There are white faces behind black violence"
Prejudice: Are there any racial issues being introduced in the film. If so how are they being represented?
Talk about audience and how it may effect them.
Paragraph 7: Relationships- How they are represented. The comparision between what is portrayed in the film, and what is happening between youngsters in today's society. How does this effect the reality of the film? (refer to review)
Paragraph 8: Narrative- The fact that the plot is set in the case of 24 hours. Does this show a true representation? How does the narrative have an effect on the audience. Is it successful in getting its message across? (include the ideas of SHEP)
Conclusion: Summarise all the ideas. Overall Kidulthood raises a lot of contemporary issues that relate to issues in todays society. It raises awareness for its audience and portrays a strong message, that can gain some change in society after watching it.
