Main Task - Textual Analysis - Adulthood

Textual Analysis: Adulthood

The element of not doing an illegal deed is clearly identified through the clip in adulthood. The diegetic sound of dialogue that comes from the man sitting in the chair being the authroritive ‘gangster’ shows how one man can be so powerful and have such a big rule over the youth and the younger generation. The diegetic sound of the man who is sitting makes his presence felt as his language is abusive towards the young thug and the plot of not doing what he directed, as he says ‘he was right to do what he did, he took the fucking piss like you are’. As the man who is sitting in the chair speaks the camera shots which is expressing his feelings is close ups. The close ups represent his emotions and how angry he is feeling and appalled that his money has been wasted. This is a clear conjunction with the reality of the mafia, as they kill if a certain wish they desire isn’t granted. Most the language that is spoken isn’t standard English grammar, the diegetic dialogue is slang. The language such as ‘blood’ and ‘ting’, in which both gangsters use make the regional identity more realistic throughout the clip. A better regional identity makes the scenes in any film more realistic.

The close up of the iron that is used to burn the failed youth is a clear indication to the audience that this is going to be used as the shot also shows the fist clinching to it ; the clinching tightly portrays anger and rage which is being felt by the colleague of the main gangster sitting down. The pace of editing is clearly identified here as the camera shot on the iron is slowed down to show the audience that it is of importance. This shot can be used as a template for our coursework as we can slow down editing to show the drugs on the table and the pace of editing can be slowed down to show emotions maybe having a sweat patch which Is represented by a close up. The representation of the sweat patch could show nerves of one of the characters in our film sequence.
