Rough Cut

The opening scene of Green street is brilliant, it gives you an idea of what to expect and also a feel for the characters, you find out who the main football firm that the film will be looking at is and who the top person is in the firm.

The non-digetic music used in the background during the opening fight scene works extremely well as it gives a fast beat and makes the veiwers heart beat more as the fighting is taking place, The beat gets more faster as the fighting goes on which also gives a great effect. Over the non-digetic music you can still hear punches, smashes and peoples voices this is good becuase you feel like its more realistic hearing these real life noices.

The camera work used is mainly over the shoulder shots, it flicks to each firm as they are giving each other abuse, there are also mid-shots with the camera showing the top person in the middle of the shot, this shows his status among his group.

Theme

No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate to 15 year olds.

Language

There may be frequent use of strong language (eg 'fuck'). But the strongest terms (eg 'cunt') will be acceptable only where justified by the context. Continued aggressive use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.

Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.

Sex

Sexual activity may be portrayed but without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour.

Violence

Violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. Scenes of sexual violence must be discreet and brief.

Imitable techniques

Dangerous techniques (eg combat, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on imitable detail. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.

Horror

Strong threat and menace are permitted. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.

Drugs

Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse.

Revised animatic

This is a revised animatic, this has are revised music in and we have added movement to the pictures.

Titles

I've been doing a little bit of research on the titles of other british social realist drama's.
What i've found is that they are fairly basic but effective, green street & football factory had black backgrounds with white writing. Football factory also had flashes of fighting and bright colours.
Below is the opening part of football factory which will show you what i mean.

Description of the story line

It starts off with camera filming a group of lads only showing there feet, the group of lads walk towards the camera, the camera then pans up to there faces and shows them walking down the road, they will be wearing the football hooligan style clothes and walk like football hooligans do, there is then a freeze frame on that firms main character and comes up with a name for him, the firm then walk passed the camera, the group then meet up with the other part of there firm are then on camera shaking each others hands.

They then see a spy from the rival firm, he then runs back to his group to tell them that the other firm are coming, there is then a freeze frame of there firm leader, there is then a over the shoulder shot of the other firm coming towards them, then in the style of cctv watching they will be filmed from above as they shout abuse at each other, the two firms then run at each other and as there about to meet the title of the film comes up, this makes the viewer want to watch on to see the fights that will take place in the film.      alex barratt
