Harry Brown Character Comparison

How youth is compared to elderly using the four areas:
Sound
Editing
Camera
Mise - en - scene.


Mise-en-scene -
 Youth
Costume: Casual Clothing, tracksuits, trainers, hats- shows that they don't care alot about their appearance. 
Lighting: Quite dark - so they don't get caught out. Shows they are quite rebellious.
Location: Underway/ Subway 
Colour: Quite dark 
Props: Drugs, mobile phone
Facial Expressions: Laughing, taunting other boys,smirking showing they are quite indimidating
Appearance - Sloppy, rushed. Not giving their appearance much thought. 


Elderly:
Costume: Pajamas at the beginning, suit&tie nearer the middle to show he is quite old fashioned, likes everything to be perfect.
Lighting: Quite bright 
Location: Small house, quite cosy. Friendly and gentle unlike the cold dark subway.
Colour: Calm casual colours
Props: Tea, inhaler, bed. Nothing like the youth.
Facial Expression - empty, worried showing he is quite lonely since he lost his wife.
Appearance - Smart, perfect- Takes pride in his appearance unlike the youths. 


Editing:
The editing in the youth scene was quite fast paced and include a lot of cutting shots to show how agressive they are. It could also show how fast their lives are moving as they are growing up. In comparison with the elderly scene, as that is quite slow as society expects elderly to be slow as they are weak and fragile. 
The youths are smoking crack/cocaine showing how they are throwing their life away and showing how much energy they have as the elderly man is taking his inhaler also shows how he is trying to extend his life.
Sound:
In the first scene there is lots of shouting and swearing - these are quite harsh sounds and this can show how agressive the youths are. Compared to scene two, there is hardly any sounds apart from a murder scene being announced on the radio as soon as he wakes up, this could manipulate his perseption of youth and show how vunerable he is. 
Camera: 
It is filmed on a camera phone which shows the youth are familiar with technology but it is shaky and poor quality which means they dont have a lot of high quality in their lives. 
The youth are in a gang where as the man is on his own - long shots are used to show how lonely he is. 
Proxemic Codes: A high angle is used from Harry Brown as he walks past the subway to hear the gang shouting/swearing - to show how far down they are in society and also it shows how much they indimidate him as he chooses to take the longer path and be late rather than walk past the gang.
