The film starts off with a pan shot of a girl walking on an

estate with silent background. This doesnt give off any


impression about genre, but this just highlighting who one of
the characters are.

Film Title The mise-en-scene is a council estate with dark


red writing floating in the middle saying The Ting. There is
more grimey music as the non-diegetic background music
and this conveys this to be more of a thriller or drama as it is
exciting.

The mise-en-scene shows a boy in a grey tracksuit sprint past and


as he goes past the film title, it disappears. The camera then pans
to follow him, this creates more excitement and questioning as to
why he is sprinting. The audience will assume it is running from
trouble as he is on a council estate and this is a stereotype.

The music then cuts out and there is diegetic sound of the boy
breathing heavily and then speech, about why he is running and if it
is away from police. There is a long-shot of the boy and girl being
next to each other and this creates a representation of drama as
eventful stuff is happening.

The camera then cuts to a medium close-up of the male spitting over
the balcony as the mise-en-scene, a nasty gesture but the audience
would expect is from someone on a council esate as they are shown
to be less classy than other people. This also connotes that he has
been in a fight or something bloody as this is what people do after
these situations.

There is a pan-shot of the boy walking into a house that was


unlocked, with a voiceover as he is explaining to the girl what
happened and why he is running. This creates suspense for
the audience and makes them question what is in the house
to make him run. This conveys a thriller genre as it keeps them
on the edge of their seats.

Then as he walk through the door, it shows someone with their head
blown off and then he reaches for something on the table and then
sprints, shown through a long-shot. There is no sound to this so it
makes people once again be questioning and they will not know what
has happened.

The next scene cuts back to current time for them, and it is a closeup shot of a futuristic phone, and this is the item that he picked up
from the house. This then represents it as a drama as they have a
device that allows them to request objects and it shows in their
pockets.

Then there is a long-shot of them both whilst the boy is making a


request and the diegetic sound is him speaking and he says the
strongest spliff. So potent it could blow a persons head off. This
then leaves the audience with suspense as they think they can guess
what will happen next.

The final cut is a mid-shot of the boy after taking a pull of the weed
and his head is blown off. This highlights a drama because it was
eventful but not enough to be classed as a thriller. The non-diegetic
music brings back the grime music and this rounds of the short
film.
