naturalistic feel helps to make them as life-like

representated as:
• Lower/Working class
• Low status
• Violence fuelled
• Represents a patriotic Britain
• Impact of gangs/cults
 Audience
• Audience is towards people who can directly
relate to the issues.
• People who can relate it to real-life.
• People of younger ages opposed to older due
to violence, sex, drugs, alcohol.
• Those who can relate the problems to Britain-
understand the problems.
 Ideology
• From the openings we establish a clear
understanding of where the film is set. We
presume due to lower class settings it will rely
on strong issues such as effects of poverty and
what that entails. From build-up at start we
presume for the to be violence to come.
