1) Film Production Companies 

Logos associated with the production companies take up the first 7 seconds of the opening sequence

3) 0:12 A very wide shot is used to show the boy and his environment which seems to be an ababonded field, the long grass may show ambiguity and thats something maybe hiding in the grass

5) 0:25 Again a close up has to been to draw attention to the protagonist's face. His facial expressions seem to show that he is calm and relaxed, maybe he has done this before. Also the piece of straw in his mouth shows may that he is not bothered about what he is doing. Also the fact that he is in a school uniform tells us that he is still a young boy.

7) 0:37 An extreme close up shows the protagonist putting the plastic bag shows that he is putting the whole bag and its contents into his school bag. The fact that he is tucking it safely away into his bag may show that he is trying to hide the bag or the items inside it.

2) 0:09 The title of the film appears. The font is in white, block capital letters; this could give the impression that it's styled like graffiti, a common vandalism act for rebellious young adults. The text format in simple and conforms to most films. The background is a bright mixture of orange and red - red has the connotations of danger which could imply that the characters live dangerous lives.

4) 0:22 A close up is used to draw attention to the tin of money that has been stashed away. The amount of money that has been kept there and the way it has been hidden, might show that it may have been produced through some sort of illegal activities.

6) 0:30 The close up on the plastic bag shows the content; sweets, lollypops and boxes of cigarettes. The fact that sweets and cigarettes are in the same bag and he is casually rummaging through it may show that cigarettes are easily accessible. The protagonist seems to be underaged by he is still picking the boxes out of the bag.

8) 0:50 A wide shot shows the protagonist walking back the same route he came from. The protagonist is shown putting his bag on to his back. This may show that he has completed the task he came to do. The setting shows us his surrounding. It seems like a council estate which conforms to most social realism films.

9) 0:55 A wide shot is used to show the protagonist, we can see the protagonists full costume. Again him being in uniform may give the audience some sense of his age. The audience are shown the setting of the film which displays council estates which is common in british council estate.
