After watching 2 parts of the Harry Brown we came together as a group and listed all the different areas where we found evidence to back up our points on where we thought age was shown. The 4 areas we used were camera, edit, sound and mes.
The age difference was shown by the energy and of the youth and the vunrability of age.
In the first clip we could see youths smoking crack cocaine from an inhalent device, this then allowed the pace of the shots to be set, the edits were quite quick to show the effect of the drugs on the youths. This is the differet to the slow shots used to show harry browns frailty and his way of life.
Terminology
The youths clip was quite fast paced, quick cuts, 'camera phone', aggressive, hoodies, no self respect, anonymous, technilogical, youth dont care about appearance,
Harry brown clip was slow, fade cuts, close ups/long shots, lonely, respect, traditional, scared, vunrable, takes care in appearance, harsh lighting exposes him.
In the youth clip the camera quality was quite poor when the youth was riding the motorbike, this was to make the audience feel involved and part of the gang, also the poor quality was to make the scene believable as in the fact that, that scene had been shot on a camera phone. Also the way the youths acted and spoke you could see that they had no respect for themselves or for the people around them, they also acted immature for their age.
In the harry brown clip the shots were quite long and slow and showed day to day activity such as getting ready, this was to show his bordem and lonleyness and the fact that he does the same thing every day. This is reality where as the youths would do new things everyday as they are still young enough to treat every day of life like an adventure.
From this task we learnt how to focus on the 4 key elements to make a character comparisom between to different age groups.
