All Media influences for our Film Opening

Kidulthood/ Adulthood: These two films are a major influence for our film opening. It depicks the life of adolescents in the modern day and the daily struggles they go through i.e gangs, violence, drugs & alcohol.



Bullet Boy: The second most influential film for our opening sequnce, this film delas with a newly released Londoner who tries to starighten his life out but faces many trials and tribulations. This is reminiscent of how the characters in our sequence try to straighten their lives out.



Skins: Another major influence to our film oepning. Skins potrays the lives of each character as well as showing how disfunctional some of them can be. Skins represents different stereotypes of young adolescents and we have tried to incoperate some themes from Skins into our film opening.

Waterloo Road: BBC's Waterloo road is a programme that deals with the lives of teenagers struggling to maintain school life amidst all their problems. This is reminiscent of our opening sequence as our characters are students.



Pineapple Express: The main theme of this film is the use of marinjuana. This film shows how people behave under the influence of marinjuana, and this may help us make our acting more realistic.



It Takes More - Ms Dynamite: This song deals with the negativity that some adolescents impose on others and tells them to take a deeper look at themselves and that there is more to them than they think.



Rehab - Amy Winehouse: This popular song by Amy Winehouse deals with her refusal to go to rehab while facing personal issues, notably alcohol. This song tells a simular story to our characters whom are some point refuse to seek help for their problems.
