camera   - The opening scene starts of immediately showing a red stop sign . The reason for this is to show a sense of danger could occur . It makes the audience fear about what's about to happen. you could also say that this represents the boys in America . When we look further into this , we could say that things need to stop , possibly children in America acting bad . the angle of the camera is slightly positioned in a low angle , this could represent the children position in America.  The movement of this first scene zooms in getting closer and closer to the word stop . it then focuses on the children the camera moves with them in this scene . when the little boy gets angry the camera zooms in an focuses on his face this is done to show his expressions more clearer 





Mise en scene - the costume the children wear is very 80s styled clothing it creates a natural light .The girl in the blue looks like she likes her fashion however you would not wear this look to school we could suggest here from her mother letting her go out in this shows not a lot of care for her however this is an uncertain estimate .
the lighting for this film is quote light and we do not see a great sense of quality maybe because of the time period this was set in makes it more realistic .
the setting  places on a run down street with crime scene banners to stop people entering .the neighbour hood does not look very looked after . the police line shows a dense of danger that we got from the very start . blood on the floor shows mystery and the fact that the children have found it makes the neighbourhood dodgy . the police line has not stopped children entering  this could suggest the children don't think much of the police or that the police in that town don't look after one another . the children do not look frightened or shocked when they see the blood unlike a in a normal town this would be very concerning . therefore this suggest that they are used to it and happens frequently in this neighbourhood 


editing -  in this short opening scene there are a lot of transitions being displayed . there is a slow zoomed in edit at the start , this is when the camera zooms in . there is a fast pace scene especially when they are walking the camera follows them . the boy who is has blue clothing on makes the audience think that he has a big part and the most important as he has the most screen time . when there is a fight scene there are a lot of transitions so get all the actions and angels . we see time passed when the little boys walks

sound - when you first hear this opening scene you hear dramatic dialogue off screen then  immediately followed by  drilling , the music is playing afer is slow to build it up this fits the mood and therefore is parallel . the sounds you hear from the boys fighting show anger and hatred and you get to see the emotion towards one another in their voice
