This title sequence introduces the scenery and portrays a typical British council flat, whilst reinforcing the genre of a gritty, coming of age drama. The mid shot of three male characters represents the age group that the film is based around. The graffiti shown behind them on the wall suggests teenage rebellion. The quality of the focus is weak, perhaps to create a mysterious atmosphere and build the audience's curiosity. The letters are white, which is seen as a typical British color and could be in reference to the Union Jack. Again, this reinforces the British culture. The small digits on the screen are said to be representative of the number of soldiers that have died. The third shot shows people in a party environment. The green lighting effect reinforces excitement and a live rock band is a stereo-typically a British trait. The characters show enthusiasm and portray lively animalistic personalities. One shot shows a close up of a couple kissing this reinforces a strong sense of passion and romance. It provides us to know that relationships will be a key aspect of the film. The fact that they used a close up shot could suggest that these particular characters may have significance throughout the film. The shot displaying three men holding the British flag is at a low-angle this reinforces their power and status. The Union Jack emphasizes the British culture. This close up shot of a child watching television establishes what year the film is shot in. The last shot displays numerous army soldiers in a deserted environment. This could reinforce the fact that the audience will be visioning a captivating story-line.
