Some of our shots:

I went onto Final cut and took some screen grabs to show the positioning of the angle and why we chose to do this in this specific way:

Shot 1: (location: Shoreditch) - We chose to use this as one of the shots to represnt who this character. Graffiti in society today is linked to the urban youth and the force of damage this can highlight where in which he grow up and who he is as a person. The colour of the graffiti can contrast his dark colour to emphasis the way in which he feels as he mourns for the 'lose' of his friend when in reality she is very much close by.

  

shot 2: (location : Hackney)- The open shot can help build again the character with MES. The lack of sun (lighting) can link to his emotions as we link sadness with the darkness of the skies. We also learn the way in which he has grown up with the very clear estate community which can link to the people which he knows and the possible riots of fights which are much more common then in a Victoria house. I believe, this is also the very first time in which we see the character in full to allow us to see the posture which he has which very much highlights his sad state. The clearly heavy bag can be also a metaphor for all the struggles he is caring in addition to his friends disappearance of his friend.

Shot 3: (Location: Hackney - Estate):  I find this shot very interesting due to the framing of the character and also the positioning. The framing creates the link to who this story is most focused on even though the girl is present. This is also very common in youth drama and the idea to follow the male. Again we see the character as a whole and enhances the guy which he is portaying.
