How did the Editor Make us think of these things?
Sound, Miss en scene,Camera Angles/Shots
In the clip Age is being represented as Intimidating. The editor shows this in many ways For example.
Age is represented
In this moment theirs a camera angle of over the shoulder this puts the audience in the position of the perpetuators to show his emotions and how the victims feeling at the time,which is intimidated. This is backed up with a High shot to emphasise and show the audience who has the power which is the perpretators. Its Framed in a Medium shot to show the detail of the Victims face and his emotions direct and how he feels intimidated. So overall the Editor Uses Camera angles to put the audience in the position of the Victim but also the Perpetrator's and show how they are perceived as Intimidating.
Mis en scene
Im the same moment its in the Streets so this shows the audience that the victim is not in a safe location so therefore he is aware of danger, we get shown this by the close up Camera shot on his facial expression but also shows us how he is intimidated of the Rivals and where there in the streets show us he doesn't know how to cope because he is not safe.
The perpretators are all wearing Hoodies where as the Victim is wearing a school shirt. Hoodies are Known and represented as a danger and intimidating becuase you cant see your whole face where as the Victim is just wearing a school shirt shows you he is still going to school and is educated so the audience would think the perpretators where intimidating so therefore make the link with the hoodies.
Age is also represented as intimidating though Sound and Dialouge. Wen the Victim is in a peaceful Happy enviroment the non diegetic sound is in ryhyem and nicely flowwing. Wen the victim reconsise's theirs danger infront the music quitens and get slower it represents the way he feels. Then when the main part happens and he is in danger the sound is out of rhyem and loud and at a high tempo. This all shows the way he feels at the time and how he feels intimidated. In the clip the perpretators are using a resricted code of language which shows they are less educated than the victim whoe is in a school shirt with a elaborated code of language.
The way the perpretators talk to each other is in a aggressive tone which can also show there personality where as the victims is more of a soft spoken happy tone.
When the victim calls the Attacker " Dread" they take offence and the editor uses silence so show the audience the Awkardness of the victim and how he is going to get out of the situation.
With film techniques the Editor uses A Reaction shot to also show the age is represented as intimidating. When they ar earguing in the street and The victim Refers to the attacker as "Dread" A Reaction shot is taken to see how the others react to it.
Age is also represented as confrontational, For example
In a scene within the friends when the two males are aguing, the audience gets the impression that they are very confrontational. They get in each others faces and use threating language and angry body language. Many shots are used to show this such as a medium close up shot this signifies they want to show the audience the perpretators true emotions at this stage which is they are angry and aggresive towards each other.
