Our Influences

The theme of urban gang culture and elements of British Realism film are inspired by Kidulthood (2006, Menhaj Huda). We have also included the theme of drugs in our film sequence much like Kidulthood.

We have decided to use flashbacks much like in order to introduce a character that is no longer there 28 Days Later (2002, Danny Boyle). We will use this technique to introduce "Emma", the girl who gets injured.

We also decided that we could use a similar rotating dolly camera movement to the one in the opening of Reservoir Dogs (1992, Quentin Tarantino) in order to established a close knit group of people with a threatening atmosphere.

The music in our film sequence will be inspired by British Dubstep, Grime and Drum and Bass because of its popularity in urban British youth culture.
