P.L.A.C.E -This is England

In this shot, it is a straight on shot showing a boy sitting next to a man, the England flag behind them connotes that they a from England. The man has lots of tattoos on his arms as well as being a skin head connotes that he is of lower class and possibly racist. Also the pictures on the right of the shot are very explicit and with the young boy being around connotes the theme of the corruption of youth. (00.08)

In this shot it is a straight on shot which denotes a fat man in a leather jacket sitting on a sofa, this connotes a typical representation of a man from the 1980s also the lack of furniture in the background supports the fact that these people are of lower class and don't have very much in terms of wealth. (00.23)

This shot shows a close up of the characters face with the light only highlighting one side of his face, and the side closer to the camera is dark showing thus connoting his character and how he is angry and a violent character also foreshadows what is too come and how dark-hearted it is. (03.10)

This shot shows a high angle view of the whole apartment,  it connotes the victimisation of the black man, because he is alone on the bed and also being stared down by another character. This again highlights the fact their wealth is not at all a lot because there is not much furniture as well as the fact that it is a small apartment and four of them are all together there. (03.20)

In this shot it is a high angle shot which connotes authority and superiority, also the fact that its a point of view shot gives the audience a better understanding of how the character is feeling, in this case angry as shown from his facial expression. Also the fact that the character comes in the way of the light gives the shot a sad and angry feel to it. (03.52)

This shot denotes a boy sitting down crying with his head in his hands. The physical representation of the boy is typical of the 1980s era because of the smart clothes which would have been seen as casual back then as to now. Also the dull colours in the background set the mood of the shot connoting a gloomy atmosphere also re-enforced by the boy crying into his hands. (05.23)
