This is England frame analysis
- The text is centrally framed to show its importance.
- The picture behind it allows the reader to identify the setting of the film and allows the reader to understand the directors interpretations on what England is really like.
- White bubble font is used which usually signifies childishness and youths. It includes black smudges or holes which signifies an element of decay which is portrayed as representing England as a decaying country in a sense.
- The use of uppercase letters connotes that the title is a statement and that the viewers are forced to interpret England the way the director does.
- The use of upper case text also anchors the reading that it is a statement.
- The use of a tower block of flats in the background denotes that the film is about working class people.
- The use of an extreme long shot enables the viewers to have a look at a bigger picture and are able to view more of the setting in the frame.
- The setting connotes one of a council estate in a poor working class area.
- The use of graffiti on a church connotes that no respect for authority is shown in that specific area. Also the graffiti states 'Maggie is a twat' which when analysed enables the reader to realise a disrespect for the prime minister and the party in government at that time.
- The vast row of identical small council houses signifies that there are many, many working class people like Shaun and his family.
- The use of an old car denotes that the film is also set in the past and there aren't many luxuries in that area. This is also an example of verisimilitude as it helps the viewer set the date.
Good. Now highlight terminology. Watch out for presentation issues like blank lines at the end of a post
