urban crime in media
mis en scene
- dark colours and setting
- masks, guns, drugs, money, tracksuits
- graffiti, tower blocks, cameras, police
- quick snappy shots - make the action faster in scene of high tension
- establishing shot - shows the audience the area and possible social issues
- point of view shot - makes the audience feel the adrenaline that one of the gang members are feeling. this is shown well in the opening of Harry Brown when the boy is riding the motorbike.
